Lead architect and technology head for an asset manager supporting mutual fund JCRIX, ETF CCNR, and administration for two third-party funds. Supervises a three-person engineering team, reduced from five while remaining hands-on in architecture and software development.
- Guided the technology roadmap as AUM grew from $2 billion to $10 billion and the investment platform expanded from managed futures into equities, options, FX, swaps, mutual funds, and ETFs.
- Maintained zero trading errors for three consecutive years through a Java-based, real-time multithreaded allocation system providing traders with immediate middle-office feedback on discretionary decisions.
- Launched CCNR on NASDAQ within three months using the firm's proprietary settlement platform, adding a public ETF to infrastructure supporting JCRIX and two third-party funds.
- Replaced isolated spreadsheets and desktop processes with a firmwide data model and 15+ applications spanning trade capture, pricing, portfolio management, risk, settlement, reconciliation, reporting, and cash-flow management.
- Designed and developed core multi-asset systems, including FIX 4.2 connectivity with SS&C and Bloomberg, pricing interfaces to Reuters and Quandl, BCOM and GSCI index replication, pre-trade compliance controls, and proprietary order and portfolio management platforms.
- Cut DDQ and RFP turnaround from days to minutes by centralizing reference data and generating client statements, performance metrics, and policy-meeting reports from one business data model.
- Retired the on-premises data center onto Microsoft Azure, reducing hardware, middleware, BCP, and disaster-recovery administration and redirecting the recovered capacity into AI-assisted workflows while advancing the environment toward PaaS, SaaS, and serverless services.
- Kept trading, settlement, and reporting systems stable through a cyclical commodity downturn, COVID-19 disruption, and a 10% workforce reduction.
- Hired and mentored three engineers with average retention of five years while serving as lead architect and hands-on developer.
- Expanded offshore engineering from one developer to four within 18 months, freeing an estimated 7% to 10% of in-house capacity toward a 30% target.
