Rate Server Strategic Re-Design & Enhancements (2018 – Present)

              The Rate Server (RSV) is a critical application responsible for subscribing to both real-time and intraday market data streams sourced from leading vendors such as Refinitiv (Reuters) and Bloomberg. It facilitates the distribution of this data to multiple downstream systems across the bank and supports all major asset classes, including Foreign Exchange (FX), Interest Rates (IR), Fixings, Futures, Options, and Bonds, thereby serving a broad spectrum of Lines of Business (LOBs). RSV further adds value through cross-currency price calculations and linear interpolation for non-standard dates, utilizing holiday schedules from Swaps Monitor to ensure accurate rate adjustments.

              The transition from legacy solutions to strategic market data services entailed the implementation of business logic and a high-performance publish-subscribe (Pub-Sub) architecture. This approach enables efficient subscription to real-time rates by integrating with TREP/B-Pipe via dedicated adaptors, handling tick frequencies that can reach several hundred per second. Data is efficiently cached and disseminated using Kafka via Hazelcast pipelines or provided through REST API endpoints.

Key features include automated onboarding with comprehensive vendor traceability, detailed usage reporting, seamless integration with Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), token-based authentication, and the application of the Observer pattern.

Technology stack: Angular 8, .NET 4.7, Java 17 (Spring Boot), SQL Server 2019, Kafka, Hazel cast Cache, Drools Engine.

CD Funding Automation (2014 – 2017)

               The Brokered CDs (BCD) application was developed for BNY Mellon Capital Markets LLC to automate and enhance the primary issuance and underwriting process for brokered certificates of deposit. This platform optimises several functions:

    · Management of issuers and dealers, encompassing registration, profile administration, and rate sheet handling

    · End-to-end deal lifecycle management, including bilateral and tri-party agreements, master certificate creation, confirmations, CUSIP requests, allocation, and ticket generation

    · Publishing and execution capabilities, facilitating deal publication to Bloomberg and ECNs

    · Comprehensive monitoring and reporting, offering real-time dashboards, alerts, and performance metrics

User groups include CD funding traders—responsible for client setup and agreement management—as well as middle office and technology personnel who access dashboards and detailed deal information. The system replaces formerly manual processes with automation, significantly increasing operational efficiency and accuracy.

A dedicated team of 14 was recruited and led to deliver the application from inception to completion.

Technology stack: Angular, .NET 4.5, SQL Server 2012

 iHedge Re-architecture (2011 – 2014)

               The iHedge platform, developed for the Bank of New York Mellon, streamlines currency risk management across multiple share classes and sub-portfolios. It accommodates two principal hedging strategies:

       · Shareclass Hedging: Establishes local currency share classes to enhance investment appeal and mitigate exchange rate exposure.

       · Subportfolio Hedging: Implements targeted hedges on specific portfolio holdings to address currency or market risks.

The platform oversees the complete hedging process, including revaluation, adjustment calculations, trade execution, and seamless integration with enterprise systems such as RSV, iConfirm, Siteminder and Trantor. Its architecture leverages Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), the Factory Pattern, and Cache Aside strategies.

Technology stack: Adobe Flex 4.5, .NET 4.5, SQL Server 2012.
