Securities Operations

Starting as team leader, I was responsible for building successful team helping with development of core application. On daily basis I was collaborating with Hong Kong and London teams, providing high quality solutions with my team for any business requirements we've got. Through my work in here I increased my Investment Banking knowledge around securities: equities and bonds. Going with deep understanding of trade lifecycle I'm actively applying my knowledge to challenges we meet on daily basis.

Risk Analytics (Basel III, CVA)

Starting as software engineer, my duties quickly grow up quickly, so I finally become team leader. Through my time spent on the project, I was responsible for collaboration with London team and development of one of the core application of Risk Analytics platform, which was responsible for data sourcing of high volume data. Additionally, that was the first time I've met with Investment Banking knowledge which I successfully learn, main focus was put on derivatives market and risk connected with holding such transactions.

Through my career in Apriso I was moved between different development teams, from core framework one to functional teams. During that time I had enormous exposure to skilled people thanks which I was able to learn very quickly. My projects were ranging from helping QA department to make they work easier through automation, implementing new way to communicate distributed parts of system in a secure way to helping with production issues for customers like GM or L'Oreal.
