  • The Cognitive Algorithmic Trading (CAT) platform is a fundamental building block for achieving digitalisation in global credit trading. It consolidates key front-office data-driven functions into a single command center, enabling more efficient collaboration between trading and sales teams. The platform is highly adaptable and built around the concept of micro-applications, which can be combined to create a custom user experience or add new functionality.
  • In my role on this greenfield project, I constructed and designed the UI framework to establish a set of rules for integrating a library of granular components that can be combined to create complex custom layouts. The application is a desktop-based, built using React and Openfin framework and is supported by a high-performance Solace messaging bus for communication with multiple financial market systems. The application is based on the Server-Driven UI (SDUI) concept, where the layout and data of micro-applications are controlled by the server, making it simple to add new micro-applications to the suite, thus reducing turnaround time.
  • One of the key features of this application is the ability for users to create a multi-desktop workspace, which can be saved, restored or shared with peers.
  • Key technologies used in the development of this platform include HTML5, ReactJS, Typescript, Material-UI, Openfin, Event-Driven Architecture using Solace Messaging Bus, Highcharts, Ag-Grid, and Java.
