Work on client services portfolio analytics and reporting. Primary focus is developing the Scala analytics engine itself, computations of which are piped to excel and a web front-end used by Bridgewater analysts during client meetings and by the clients themselves. There are numerous securities-related and infrastructural design challenges and strong engagement with Scala, Akka, Mockito, ScalaTest, Breeze numerical processing and a number of other Scala packages.

Founded Spocdoc, LLC for consulting and greenfield technology development, building more intelligent and people-focused data-driven technologies. Spocdoc's first technology endeavor was a groundbreaking web-based knowledge management system that predated significant adoption of web frameworks like Angular or Meteor. Spocdoc brought sophisticated tools like forking, versioning, and tag indexing to collaborative documents for writers, bloggers, note-takers and enterprises.

The second major technology, called Iris, is a sophisticated virtual assistant that integrates email, calendar, reminders, and third-party APIs to help manage life activities, responsibilities and personal and professional goals with fun, intelligence and purpose. Iris repositions email as one component of a project- and goal-oriented perspective that radically simplifies managing communications while helping to achieve larger objectives one step at a time.

Core technologies used: Ruby on Rails, NodeJS, Scala, Swift, Objective C, Cucumber, Rspec, Selenium, ScalaTest, Amazon Web Services, Linux. Scalable web service architecture using Express, Jade, Mocha, Stylus, Nodemailer, jQuery, Socket.io, node cluster, with a MongoDB backend and Redis publish-subscriber model updates. Designed user interfaces, conducted usability studies, iterated wireframes in Experience Design. Designed database schemas and wrote plugin-based extensible frameworks with exposed APIs. Created scalable markdown tree algorithms, dealt with virtual IPs, built a browser-based dependency engine and a declarative JavaScript MVC framework with server-client code sharing and server-side rendering. Trademarked Spocdoc, met with patent lawyers, formed an LLC, registered TID. Built a team and recruited from universities.

Worked in an agile environment with a geographically distributed team on internal, trader-facing risk, hedging, scenario and analytics software. Provided interface improvements, architectural adjustments for reducing latency and worked extensively in Scala on the core infrastructure. During my time at the company, an older system was deprecated, and the new system was rolled out in Europe at a larger scale.

Worked with a team of five in New York and Austin to re-architect the client billing infrastructure. This involved evaluating the existing system and product offerings from three external vendors. Together, we selected a vendor and refactored various parts of the legacy system to accommodate the new offering.
