Collaborated in a team of 10 with the world’s largest equity derivatives clearing organization to develop a platform to replace its existing security lending infrastructure currently used by at least 85 program members and processed a daily average of $126 billion in loan values using Scala, Akka, Kafka, Tapir and Play Framework
Developed and tested various integral features of the security lending platform with reusability in mind, including the development of corporate actions, complex workflows related to account transfer and removal, batch jobs with specific trigger times during the business day, reference data ingestion, creation of new API endpoints and generation of outbound FIXML message
Worked closely with external product owner and internal enterprise solution team to disambiguate descriptions in the user stories and in many occasions discovered additional requirements for acceptance criteria
Improved the code quality of the security lending platform by improving error and warning messages raised to allow for better triaging of future errors and by refactoring redundant method calls into reusable methods to allow for easier update in the future
Fixed multitudes of critical bugs that affected the behavioral correctness of the security lending platform which could lead to erroneous calculation and their sending to downstream systems

Spearheaded the development of test automation framework, from library choices to coding conventions, for three concurrent projects: the AxCore platform, the core distributed ledger software, and two projects involving some of the world’s biggest financial institutions, reducing the turnaround time between testing each build and saving time for testers to address new bugs
Decreased the time taken to run regression tests for AxCore by porting disjointed test scripts from Bash to Python and consolidating them under one test harness using PyTest library
Designed and implemented the UI test suite for Veris, the equity swaps platform, using Cypress and Javascript and set up the CI/CD pipeline to automatically trigger the running of the aforementioned test suite upon the release of a new UI build
Developed and maintained test suites for testing both the Financial Information Exchange (FIX) server and UI portions of the bond issuance platform using Scala with ZIO library; and Javascript with Cypress, respectively
