Ramesh Haribhau Kalkute

Key Responsibilities:

• Gathered and documented business requirements related to trade execution, order routing, and compliance workflows for Order Management Systems (OMS).
• Acted as a liaison between traders, compliance teams, and technology for OMS configuration and enhancements.
• Supported the integration of OMS with trading platforms, market data, risk, and back-office systems.
• Validated order flow logic, including support for multiple order types (market, limit, stop) and execution algorithms.
• Ensured pre-trade compliance checks and post-trade allocation rules were properly implemented and tested.
• Provided user support and training for OMS features, upgrades, and workflow changes.
• Participated in Agile development processes using Azure DevOps for backlog tracking, sprint planning, and release management.

Key project highlights include:

• Automated Trade Reconciliation System Implementation: Successfully led the implementation of an automated trade reconciliation system, integrating data from the OMS, execution venues, and clearing houses. This project involved defining complex matching rules, handling exceptions, and designing dashboards for real-time discrepancy monitoring. The solution reduced manual reconciliation efforts by 40% and significantly improved data accuracy and operational efficiency for the post-trade team.
• OMS Enhancement for Derivatives Trading: Spearheaded the enhancement of the OMS to fully integrate and support derivatives trading (specifically Futures and Options). This project involved defining comprehensive functional requirements for complex order types, margin calculations, and real-time risk checks unique to derivatives. Collaborated closely with traders and quantitative analysts to ensure accurate pricing and execution logic. Supported User Acceptance Testing (UAT) to validate system performance and compliance with regulatory guidelines, ultimately enabling seamless multi-asset order capture and execution, and reducing manual booking errors by optimizing automated compliance checks.

• Managed and maintained instrument, pricing, and counterparty data critical to front-to-back trade processing and risk calculations.
• Coordinated with upstream data vendors (e.g., Bloomberg, Reuters) to ensure timely and accurate delivery of pricing and reference data.
• Conducted data validation, enrichment, and reconciliation across multiple systems (trading, risk, and settlement platforms).
• Defined and implemented data governance practices, including data quality checks and issue resolution workflows.
• Worked with technology teams to map reference data attributes and support integration with downstream systems.
• Supported regulatory and internal reporting requirements through accurate data sourcing and maintenance.
• Project – Reference Data Standardization
• Project: Instrument Master Data Consolidation
• Description: Led a project to consolidate and standardize reference data across multiple internal systems. Analyzed data feeds from Bloomberg and Reuters, implemented business rules for data validation, and coordinated with IT for automated integration. Resulted in improved data consistency and reduced exceptions in trade and risk processing.

• Provided administrative & business analysis support, focusing on data management and pricing strategies to enhance operational efficiency.
• Effectively managed multiple projects simultaneously.
• Designed data management solutions as per organizational objectives and regulatory requirements; analyzed pricing strategies as per industry standards.

• Engaged with external vendors to negotiate favorable terms for data services.

• Managed pricing and financial data; conducted detailed analyses to validate data against business standards.
• Defined pricing strategies, streamlined processes, and implemented best practices for financial data management.
• Audited pricing data; mitigated risks associated with data inaccuracies.
• Created documentation of pricing processes and methodologies.
• Supported team members on pricing methodologies.
• Monitoring key performance indicators (KPIs) related to pricing accuracy.

• Partnered with technology vendors to secure advantageous terms and access to cutting-edge data management solutions.
• Collaborated with IT departments to develop data security measures.
• Designed a centralized data repository that streamlined data access.
• Audited data management practices.
• Created documentation of data management processes.
