% ==== PROFILE ====
\section{Profile}

Senior software engineer and engineering leader with a career spanning banks,
proprietary trading and asset management. My work sits at the intersection of
three things: hands-on backend development, close engagement with front-office business users, and
end-to-end team and product leadership. I have built low-latency trading systems,
market-making infrastructure, and algorithmic trading engines at Deutsche Bank and
IMC Trading, and have spent the past 13 years at LGT ILS Partners designing and
delivering a full portfolio management platform from scratch---now serving as Head 
Application Development. I am equally comfortable writing and reviewing
production code, sitting with a portfolio manager to understand what they actually
need, or driving a team through a complex multi-year delivery.

\section{Experience}

\job{LGT ILS Partners}{https://lgtcp.com}{Head Application Development}{2013 -- Present}
LGT ILS Partners is a specialist insurance-linked securities (ILS) manager,
investing institutional capital into catastrophe bonds and collateralised
reinsurance instruments. I joined as the second developer to support and extend
an existing Java/Swing portfolio management tool; as business requirements grew,
it became clear that the firm
needed a new platform built from the ground up, and I led that effort from
initial design through to production.

The platform---built in C\#, MS SQL and React---has become the core operational
system for the front office, covering:
\begin{itemize}
  \item Position tracking and performance calculation across ILS product types
  \item Trading operations and trade assessment
  \item Risk management
  \item Reconciliation with fund administration
  \item FIX integration and SWIFT data processing
  \item Automated data ingestion from banks, Bloomberg and other providers
        (APIs and file feeds)
  \item Reporting and business intelligence
\end{itemize}
It serves around 20 front-office users---small enough that every user's input
shapes the product directly---while its reports reach a far wider audience.

As the project grew, my role evolved from lead developer into Head Application
Development, leading a core team of four that scales up with two to three
engineers borrowed from other teams when needed, and liaising with internal and
external IT partners such as LGT Bank and UBS. I own the full picture: long-term
platform strategy and roadmapping, sprint and release planning, requirements
management, stakeholder communication, production support, and the development
and deployment infrastructure end to end (source control, CI/CD, issue tracking,
releases, server operations). I remain a hands-on developer and continue to
contribute to backend development directly.
\tech{C\#, .NET, MS SQL, Java, MongoDB}

\job{IMC Trading}{https://imc.com}{Software Developer}{2008 -- 2013}
Joined IMC's Algorithmic Trading Group in Amsterdam in 2008 and transferred
with the team to IMC Zug in 2009, moving later to the ETF desk and to equity
and futures market making.

\subrole{Equity and Futures Market Making}
Joined the market-making team near its inception and contributed to greenfield
development of trading strategies and a high-performance simulation engine using
full-depth order book historical data. Later focused on real-time monitoring
tooling for live trading operations.
\tech{Java, GWT, Hibernate, MySQL, MS SQL, MATLAB}

\subrole{ETF Desk --- Front Office Applications}
Built and maintained centralised components serving the ETF trading desk:
a rules-based FX hedging component with internal position matching, a real-time
risk monitor displaying key metrics, and a static data service providing
consistent instrument and pricing data to both research and trading.
\tech{Java, Swing, Hibernate, ActiveMQ, XML, MySQL, MS SQL}

\subrole{Algorithmic Trading Group}
Integration work on the existing trading infrastructure: connecting a third-party
market data feed, enabling cross-platform communication between trading components,
and integrating third-party systems for position keeping, order routing and market
data.
\tech{Java, JNI, C++, C}

\job{Deutsche Bank}{https://db.com}{Software Developer, AVP}{2004 -- 2008}

\subrole{Arina Execution System}
Arina is Deutsche Bank's global electronic order execution platform used by
traders across all markets. I worked on server-side components (C++, Java) and
client GUIs (Java Swing, C\#), deployed across heterogeneous infrastructure
ranging from Solaris servers to Linux PCs, supporting hundreds of concurrent
users from a single location.
\tech{C++, Java, Java Swing, C\#, Oracle, Solaris, Linux}

\subrole{Algorithmic Trading Engine}
Part of a small focused team building a new-generation algorithmic trading engine
covering market data access and exchange connectivity. The engine became the
foundation of Deutsche Bank's smart order routing system, built to comply with
MiFID regulations.
\tech{C++, TIBCO Rendezvous, FIX, Solaris, Linux}

\job{Scala/Epicor}{https://epicor.com}{Software Developer}{2002 -- 2004}
Design and development of next-generation ERP software. Core systems implemented
in C++, with .NET-based web services for client connectivity.
\tech{C++, .NET, Web Services, XML}

\jobnolink{R-Style Software Lab}{Software Developer}{2000 -- 2002}
