Experience

Order management, settlement, and operational systems for a crypto exchange and custodian supporting spot and derivatives trading.

Core technologies: Scala, Go, Kafka, gRPC, PostgreSQL, Redis, Kubernetes, and AWS

• Led a team of four engineers, providing technical direction and owning delivery, code quality, mentoring, and production readiness.
• Led the transition from hardcoded asset and instrument definitions to service-managed configuration across SBE messages, database schemas, and a large monorepo. Delivered validated, audited self-service tooling that removed routine engineering involvement.
• Designed dynamic restrictions for 5,000 instruments and 300,000 rules, introducing business-entity–based evaluation, caching, migration from legacy logic, and audited self-service administration.
• Built the backend for derivatives incentives and leaderboards, including reproducible P&L and ROI calculations, eligibility rules, scheduled winner selection, notifications, and APIs.
• Contributed to multi-asset institutional settlement and improved customer-facing order lifecycle and onboarding flows, including ledger interactions for transaction state and account balances.
• Owned operational readiness for customer-facing services through safe release practices, Datadog dashboards and monitors, and runbooks for order-ingress pipelines.

Tradeflow: CDS ledger and lifecycle platform for credit derivatives, used by Operations and integrated with client trading and settlement systems across New York, London, and Hong Kong.

Core technologies: Java, Scala, Akka Streams, Kafka, Sybase, and Spring

• Built a Scala, Akka Streams, and Kafka integration that moved trade data from a legacy Java platform into a next-generation risk system.
• Delivered Book Move automation for moving thousands to tens of thousands of trades: automated account adjustments, fee-trade generation, and reporting. Implemented a two-phase rollout culminating in redesigned accounting behavior that retained realized payments and moved only unrealized ones, reducing operational risk.
• Overhauled credit-event tooling by improving trade eligibility discovery, reference-entity and portfolio-version updates, and fee application. Reduced execution time and eliminated routine developer involvement.
• Re-architected synchronization of back-to-back trades with parent trades; reduced incidents from 2–3 per week to roughly 1–2 every 6 months, with the remaining issues largely unrelated to sync logic.
• Delivered workflow and state-machine changes, trade maturation reporting, and batch processing for evolving credit-derivatives requirements.
• Drove defect reduction and production-stability improvements, shifting support rotations from high-volume firefighting to mostly external integration issues.

Lead engineer for Genpact KYC Services and Markit Hub, spanning secure portals, APIs, SSO, publishing pipelines, partner integrations, and production reliability.

Core technologies: Java, Oracle, Tomcat, Spring, OAuth, and AngularJS

• Led design and delivery for Genpact KYC Services, including a secure portal, API workflows, and integration services for KYC data and subscriptions.
• Led engineering for Markit Hub, a financial-content aggregation and SSO platform with provider integrations and publishing pipelines across SOAP, CSV, and RSS.
• Owned platform migrations and reliability improvements across internal and partner-facing services.
