What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build scalable, reliable backend systems, especially in financial technology, trading workflows, messaging, and microservices. I value production ownership, system design, and opportunities to solve high-impact engineering problems.

At Nomura, I build and support high-volume Java trading systems for Options and Futures execution processing. My work supports 1,000+ trades and QA volume testing of up to 10,000 trades per day.

I've implemented Spring and Apache Camel workflows for multi-market trade flows, optimized SQL for validation and reconciliation, and developed Java services for trade invoicing. I also contributed to a six-month TIBCO-to-Solace messaging migration and delivered 12 stable production releases within one year.

Previously, as a Nomura intern, I developed a Spring Boot microservice that removed an internal automation tool's API dependency and improved modularity through RESTful endpoints.

I also built an AI-powered SQL chatbot using Claude AI for conversational trade analytics, and co-authored an IEEE-published paper on air-quality prediction using machine learning and time-series analysis.
