Software Engineer within Morgan Stanley's Listed Sales and Trading department

• Primary engineer on a new event-sourced trading application built using Java

• Increasing system observability using OpenTelemetry to help reduce the challenges of production support issues within distributed systems

• System design analysis on existing trading systems and how to re-architect them to achieve better flexbility, scalability, and 100% uptime

I currently work in Production Management ensuring the availability and stability of Morgan Stanley's Electronic Trading plant. I have a strong knowledge of the FIX protocol, and a large part of my time involves tracing orders at the FIX level through our UNIX plant. Other aspects of the role include incident and problem management, and liaising with the business to identify gaps in our trading applications. I also strive to reduce the manual effort required by myself and my team by writing scripts to automate as many of our common supports tasks as possible.
