  • Collateral and Clearance Risk Management
  • I was responsible for design, development , requirement analysis for a project which was more of an EAI application. Data from various systems were persisted post validation ,transformation etc. and thereafter made available to mainframes processing in various ways. Mule which uses the SEDA based approach for services was used for handling workflows and being a database driven system , it essentially was a task for doing various manipulations to monitor and tune the performance of the end to end flows.

Oct 2009Jun 2012 · 2 yrs 8 mos · Gurgaon, India

  • Middle Office Credit and Market Risk
  • My core tasks involved design, development, requirements analysis, mentoring and leading team members. I was also actively involved with business analysts in communicating and understanding of various requirements and even with the QA team in the project initiation phase.The issuer risk application is a product to portray information on the risk associated with an issuer of a bond to which the bank was exposed. The bonds are partitioned into various categories with various levels of bond quality. Apart from the issuer risk I was involved in credit risk application development. The requirement was to move the calculation logic of regulatory numbers from legacy system to the current Java based framework. Being totally implemented in sequential programming style in DB , this was a major challenge as the core requirement was documented long time back and a gradual relevant benchmarking was needed keeping in mind the corresponding changes that were done to various other dependent systems.

  • Java Consultant with The Royal Bank of Scotland
  • As a consultant with The Royal Bank of Scotland, I was involved in design and implementation of a product in the IB Operations department. The product was used by various stakeholders as a state-of-art reconciliation tool. The main attraction of the product was its simplicity but yet performing complex reconciliations of EOD as well intraday trades. This was even enhanced to show the positions of bonds as well as exposures from futures and options across the clients. Information flowing from various front desk trading systems was orchestrated to give a compact and comprehensive view to the user. Although it was more of a read only screen , enhancements were subsequently made to change data in the screen in the event when a change was necessary taking into consideration the security role restrictions.
