My Image

Software Developer with proficiency in designing, developing and delivering top engineering solutions. Showcasing great ownership with the deliveries and maintaining valuable relationships with the shareholders.

Served as a SME on creating the Future State Architecture that focused on transforming several legacy systems into micro-services as a scope of meeting the product goal.

Not coming from the CSE background I took every day of my career to learn and become good in various technologies I have been given the opportunity to work on with.

Project Details

GoldenEye (Front Office Data Store):

(January 2018 - Present)

Started as a POC and now converted to a full funded project, this project focuses on building cloud native, fault tolerant and highly scalable platform using Java based microservices in order to build strategic trade store for Fixed Income and BSM business within Global Banking and Markets. As a part of Future State Architecture this project also focuses on creating an in-house trade booking platform, hence demising a plethora of legacy systems used to book trades for this business.
