Details for Technical Experiences

Senior Consultant / Technical Analyst in Keane, Inc. (Morgan Stanley Engagement)

June 2006 - December 2008

I was acting as IT liaison services to the business in prime brokerage trade entry, trade correction and cancellation, trade breaks, swap processing and swap breaks. When a user from the business raised an issue, I clarified the issue and collected additional required information about the issue, confirmed the problem, investigated and narrowed down the problem and pinpointed it if possible, querying for known work around for the user or find new one if possible, gave solution to the user when the issue is user education, and/or escalated to the L3 / developer as needed. This saved several hours of L3 / developer time each day.

I am watching alert for trade and swap submissions which are failed but no WorkQ notification was generated to the Customer Service Representatives of the customer. I will investigate the alert, pinpoint the problem, and notify the Customer Service Representatives about this issue. This saved hours of L3 / developer time each day - if they would do it instead - and would save client face or even monetary loss which might occur if the submission failure was left unnoticed.

I created falcon tickets to track the issues, which allow those issues later to be collected, reviewed, categorized, and have statistics created. This allowed trend recognition and helped client’s limited development resource to be directed to fixing most important issues.

I monitored system and application alerts from other teams, investigated and pinpointed the source of the alerts, decided whether the alerts caused by business issues or application issues or not an issue at all and if needed escalated to the business or to the L3 / developer as needed. This saved hours of developer time per week and alleviated issues with trades or swap processing which could affect customer.

Being a partner in IT support, in escalating a problem to L3 / developer I made a suggestion on the actual code causing the problem and possible fix for the problem.

In investigation I sometime noticed other potential issues which I alerted to L3 / developer. This saved developer time and reduced customer exposure because the problem got fixed earlier.

I supported L3 / developer in their investigation of an issue, in information gathering, in the actual action to fix problem and upgrade the system. This saved a lot of developer time.

I designed and Developed ticket creation script of Kestrel falcon ticket management package, which allows creation of script from an entry of MSForum intranet forum application and e-mail alias lookup from LDAP. This shortened the ticket process from 5 - 15 minutes of manual copy, paste, and resolve to just 1 - 5 minutes per ticket. Furthermore, the ticket e-mail notification generated would most likely fall into the same “conversation” in Microsoft Outlook and definitely in the same thread in other e-mail clients, reducing the time to find the tickets for each update to the issue.

I revised the ticket modification script of Kestrel falcon ticket management package, adding the feature which allows updating more information (affected item, deadline, time spent, and priority) and allows updating ticket not in our queue. Recent changes will even allows change ticket owner, fixing the description of a request ticket, less problem in closing problem ticket, and allows reassigned to other group. This would potentially save time in updating ticket, allows better prioritization of the ticket, and allow collection of better valuable data on time spent working on an issue.

I continued the development of the tools, mechanism, and documentation for the Ready for Business check of Transcap trade processing soap application and FileImport trade file web interface, automated the file preparation, part of the execution (specifically for swift and LDR), and checking part. I also organized the documentation to better point out what to do and which URL to use. This saved an hour or so for the 3 times Ready for Business check in one day.

I revised the mechanism and documentation for Transaction Manager web application (to enter and query transactions of a trade) Ready for Business check, organized the documentation better, having more direct URL for the web application and automate the reference no counting. It allowed faster and more reliable Ready for Business check execution and eventually migration to L1 team.

I developed and improved the design of the scripts for trade breaks option breaks’ Ready for Business automated check, saved hours of time for manual check per week, and better assured that issues will be escalated as needed.

I developed and improved the design of the scripts for trade breaks no break message Ready for Business automated check script, saved hours of time for manual check per week, and better assured that issues will be escalated as needed.

I developed and improved the design of the scripts for trade breaks CIA replication Ready for Business automated check script, saved hours of time for manual check per week, and better assured that issues will be escalated as needed.

I developed and improved the design of the automated scripts for Transaction Manager outstanding flip check, which made sure issues with adopting this feature caught early, saving hours of time doing the check manually each day, saved client face from having update did not get through and saved Customer Service Representatives’ time from having to find out what happened with the trade.

I developed and improved the design of the scripts for trade breaks actioned trade invalid strategy change check, which made sure issues with adopting this feature caught early, saved hours of time doing the check manually each day, saved client face from having invalid update and saved Customer Service Representatives’ time from having to find out what happened with the trade.

I developed and improved the design of multiple scripts which are parts of the end of day monitoring procedures, which save hours of manual checking per week, and enable the information to be viewed by more people as needed.

I developed and improved the design of the scripts which monitor outstanding trades, replacing that function from Transaction Manager when the amount of trades expose a hole in its design, saved hours of time for manual check, saved hours of the operation team, and better assured that outstanding trades will be resolved by the operation team.

I helped business IT liaison person with her requests for data mining to determine issue in trade processing, sometime require development of special scripts to do so, which saved hundred of hours of manual work.

I designed and developed several tools to help issue investigation, including a script to traverse multiple log files to search a string, a script that automatically extract log for specific action from Transaction Manager and Transcap Sender component, and script that view perf data of a host in a formatted layout.

I created and revised various documentation on supporting Transcap, File Import, Transaction Manager, Trade Breaks including documentations about Transaction Manager entitlement, trades in ready status, escalating legacy trade entry issues, Transaction Manager 1002 error, Transaction Manager cannot cancel and modify at the same time error, trade breaks no action button issue, several Mainframe issues, mapping of how trade information sent to Mainframe, several queues issues, swift client information, bond trade recognition, file transmission errors, and more, saving hundred of hours of L3 / developer time of teaching the same issue to other member of the team.

As part of the team I routinely discussed known issue with other member of the team, saving their time when they find the same issue.

Senior Information Technologist in Investor Risk Management Incorporated

June 1998 - March 2006

Investor Risk Management Incorporated is an investment advisory firm that produces risk analysis on proposals for investments in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia. The firm business model relies upon the ability of reusing previous analysis and data. The operation requires collaborative work between different analysts and the ability to use Internet for communication and research. Before I was hired, the firm had minimal information technology to support those requirements; the operation was decidedly manual.

Together with my colleagues, I analyzed our requirement, planned for future need, and designed a solution for our issues. I reviewed the choice of hardware and software and selected the products that fulfill the design. We upgraded all workstations to Microsoft Windows NT. We setup file server and other servers using Microsoft Windows NT servers. I setup a directory structure to ease the effort of finding the correct files and setup user and access structure to control who have access to which files. Eventually I decided to move the servers to Red Hat Linux servers with RAID drives to improve reliability and performance.

I planned the system for Internet access for the firm. We setup the Internet servers using Red Hat Linux: the Internet gateway, name servers, web servers, and mail server. We setup access to our network from remote location using SSH, mail access through web, and Microsoft Remote Access Server. I managed the administration of the servers, and ensure the system integration, well-being, and ability to cope with demand. All these provided solution to much needed ability to find appropriate analysis and reports, collaboration between analyst, and ability to use Internet for communication and research.

Further, I designed a database architecture in relational database management system (RDBMS) and implemented it using Oracle for a document management system to store, index, search, and retrieve various analysis, research, and data documents of the firm. This database architecture used web interface to allow easy access either from local intranet or from Internet, albeit under strict access control method. This database system made it easier for the analyst to find the correct documents, which is essential for the operation of the firm. This database system opened new possibilities for the firm in assisting marketing efforts, and as a future product of the firm.

My ability allowed the firm to provide web-accessible financial applications for some customers. I analyzed the requirement of the customers, designed the architecture and implemented the solutions. I selected the appropriate tools and products used to develop the solution: some solutions implemented using rapid application development (RAD) tools such as Perl and Kylix (Delphi for Linux), some other solutions required Java and special programming interface to OpenOffice.org, etc. Concepts such as numerical analysis and object oriented programming were part of these solutions. This service provided a significant proportion of company revenue.

Software and tools experienced: Linux, Microsoft Windows NT, Microsoft Windows NT Server, Microsoft Windows, Perl, Apache, Kylix (Delphi for Linux), C++, Java, C shell, Bash shell, Oracle, PL/SQL, DBI/DBD modules, Postfix, Qmail, OpenSSH, iptables, VNC, RPM, makerpm.pl, JavaScript, ImageMagick, X-Window, OpenOffice.org SDK, SPSS, Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Pagemill, Adobe Photoshop, Macromedia Freehand, Macromedia Dreamweaver, Mozilla, Netscape, Internet Explorer, Outlook Express, NFS, XML, CGI, HTTP, HTML, etc.

Work in team with 3-4 other administrator, I led the planning of the network architecture and the setup of central servers to fulfill their job to serve the e-mail forum, web site, name server, UUCP server, and connecting properly with other servers through Internet. I took the initiative to monitor the systems for potential problems in the services of the servers and to fix it remotely. For those tasks I designed and developed several scripts using shell scripts, Perl, and CGI protocol, and modified some existing applications, such as Ezmlm and Majordomo.

I have also been supporting the use of the system by assisting the members of Parokinet to use the system properly, listening to them for potential improvement reports, and adjusting the system based on those reports. As administrator of the e-mail forum, I have been assisting people manage their membership, and to keep the discussions civilized.
