PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Confidential, Chicago, IL

Software Engineer

Responsibilities:

• My primary responsibility was to design and develop User Interface applications primarily to facilitate detailed analysis of data by analysts and traders, followed by providing a rich look and feel to all the front end applications to enhance user experience. This was done for the Working Capital application module which tracks the desk P&L, Exposures etc. and the Volatility Model project which enables Energy analysts and traders to analyze huge amount of data emitted out by different strategy models.
• The MVVM architectural pattern using PRISM was used to achieve loose-coupling between the view and the business logic and it was abstracted from the communication layer using Event Aggregators and Commands. The communication layer interacted with multiple providers like Ice service, TIBCO messaging service and RESTful services in the backend.
• I was solely responsible for the design and development of the UI components for the COMET project initiative which involved displaying Fair value and Back test data using Pivot grids and plotting it in DevExpress charts.
• Interact with the Business and traders to gather requirement and co-ordinated with them on UAT.
• The fast paced environment at Confidential demanded a quick learning, adapting to their working environment and focus on quick delivery of modules. I designed and developed the UI for the Working Capital module, which was my first assignment within 2 weeks of joining the team.
