JUL 2009 – SEP 2010 |
| Architected and developed an algorithmic trading system to trade on the US stock markets in real time. Led a team of four which consisted of two senior software engineers and a business analyst. The project was managed using an Agile SCRUM methodology and dealt with many different technologies such as high-speed, proprietary TCP communications, encryption, threading/concurrency/parallelization as well as WPF and ASP.NET on the front end. Worked directly with both the Reuters’ COM library as well as the Bloomberg/Wombat stack to interface directly with Merrill Lynch. Software technologies involved were Visual Studio 2008 and 2010, C#, Subversion, .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.0, WCF, WPF, MSMQ, SQL Server 2008, LINQ to SQL, and the .NET Inversion of Control container Autofac. The owner of the company, Andy Beal, decided that it would be better to pursue business opportunities in Europe and therefore did not have the time to invest in Agility. Agility Assets permanently closed its doors on September 16th, 2010. | |

Heartland Payment Systems Job Title: Senior Software Engineer / Architect |
DEC 2005 – FEB 2008 |
| Architected and developed a framework to automate HPS’ existing back-end credit card processing pipeline. The platform was written entirely in C# and was designed to scale well beyond HPS’ expected growth rate over the next ten years. The entire system uses MSMQ as the main inter-process communication transport medium (SOAP/XML). Due to the nature of the business, very high reliability and performance was required. All data insertion and retrieval was done directly using stored procedures and MS SQL Server 2005 partitioning where necessary. All development was done using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 with Team Foundation System. Some of the technologies used were the .NET 3.5, LINQ, generics, multi-threading, Windows Services, Visio, WMI, and Ingrian Encryption. WCF was utilized to streamline the communications framework. | |
