MQ, Linux and Performance Tuning and profiling java based services using JProfiler. Scheduled using Autosys.
Another project was building a custom CRM for sales team. We used Informatica to move data from 23+ systems into a
single database and build systems and web services around that.
Accomplishments
● Part of Trading team where we designed systems that processes millions of trades everyday.
● Worked in Trading, Application Infrastructure, PWM, and GWM departments.
● Owned quite a few projects in the Trading and GWM departments.
● Most of the project went live even with super critical timelines.
● The amount of data, attributes, complexity from these systems were massive, worked on ETL (Informatica) for one

Assigning/prioritizing day to day tasks to developers and qa.
Surfacing any risks in development, debugging the issues with developers.
Created the Deployment Plan and Support Handover.
Description. The project aims at providing a single CRM application for Sales, Operations and Legal
across the globe for Private Wealth Management (PWM). Prior to this application, the sales person was
using lot of different applications and also wasted lot of time over export/import from excel and
performed calculations manually. The project integrates data from four different input sources and
merges them into a customized hierarchy of parties, relationship between parties, creating portfolios
and accounts. Java based services were written around this application to provide interface for external
systems, data feeds and notifications. Additionally it also provides entitlements; report generation and
document management for sales. A Client Centric Data solution that suffices the need of the
downstream system as well as the Sales, Operations and Legal.
Challenges. The project went live even with super critical timelines that was promised to business
from management. The Amount of data, attributes, complexity from different systems was massive.
Technology. Informatica for data extract from different systems and modeling into the new data
model, Java, CXF, Spring, shell and perl scripting, and nexj client.

Description. Banking Sweep was a nightly job which basically aims at leveraging the interest in the
client's bank account. So for the accounts that are enabled for sweep will automatically move excess
money from the client trading account into the banking account using SAFE and T24 movements. And
similarly if the client needs money in the trading account, based on data feeds from the trading system,
sweep process will automatically move the money from the banking account into the trading account.
This application was made available in 13 different currencies in Asia(in Singapore the above logic is
reversed due to regulatory).
Challenges. The challenge was to make a super efficient services that can move millions of
transactions to/from banking/trading account in a very small time frame. The throughput from java

not that frequent. This system provided cached fx rates over multiple nodes in each region ap, ln and na
Challenges. The challenge was to make a multiple customized services that can share the state via
gemfire. And cache the database responses using EH Cahce. All plugable via spring.
Technology. DBS used Java, CXF, Spring, E-HCache and Gemfire, shell and perl scripting, and a asp.net
client.
PICORE(PLATFORM INDEPENDENT CORE)
