At Morgan Stanley, I implement trading and wealth-management solutions, including a Multi Alternative Fund Trading Model that improved AUM by $2bn+ in its first quarter.

I've modernized trading platforms by migrating legacy mainframe code to a distributed unified platform supporting equity, options, fixed income, mutual funds, and UITs. I also implemented electronic contract creation for position redemption.

Previously at Barclays, I delivered multi-currency netting and FX-rate capabilities for NetFX and integrated FX trading into BARX across spots, swaps, options, forwards, and NDF transactions.

My earlier SDET and QA work at Wolters Kluwer, Barclays, SunGard, and Capgemini involved building automation frameworks, CI pipelines, server-side testing, and data-validation tools using Selenium, Java, Python, SQL Server, and shell scripting.
