I am offering software development services for the financial industry. Since founding the company, I have been working with TradingScreen on electronic trading server applications written in Java, and with ANS Solves on the design and implementation of a low latency trading platform.

At TradingScreen, I was taking care of core Java services like order routing, client data server, product data server. etc. to enhance reliability and functionality.

At UBS, I designed, developed, and supported a high performance, distributed automated trading platform for index arbitrage at the automated trading desk. In this context, I also worked with vendor staff to integrate third party TSE and OSE line handlers. In addition, I helped in the development of other algorithmic trading strategies.

At Lehman Brothers, I supervised two consultants to implement a warrant market making system. I also developed and supported front office desktop applications for the CB desk. For Japanese Government Bond trading, I performed the Tokyo implementation of a global bond trading system.

At JP Morgan, I headed a team of four developers to maintain and support the proprietary equities trading system. Before that, I was part of the development team that built the trading system.

At Barclays BZW, I developed, maintained, and supported a position keeping and P&L system for the convertible bond desk.

At Merrill Lynch, I developed the graphic user interface for a technical trading system that was based on genetic algorithms. Later, I ported the prop desk's execution management system from Unix to Windows NT. I also built a number of desktop applications for the portfolio trading desk.

At this A.I. Laboratory I designed and implemented a modeling tool for causal reasoning. This was part of a research project to develop a decision support system for the management of dairy farms.

At the DFKI, I implemented unification algorithms for the automated reasoning group.
