Software Developer

kACE (a FENICS brand)•  June 2018 - Present

At kACE I have had the opportunity to work on award-winning FX-option trading software using mostly Java and C++. One of the notable projects I have worked on was to develop a distributed computing system using Kafka, which allowed clients to improve performance through flexible horizontal scaling. When we switched from MySQL to SQL Server I developed several utilities to configure databases for use with our software. I have also helped to train fellow team members in Kafka and Git, and interview candidates for new Software Developer positions.

Application Support Specialist

Bessemer Trust•  August 2017 - June 2018

At Bessemer Trust, I was responsible for supporting the software used internally by the company. I also found several opportunities to boost productivity by suggesting and developing tools to automate repetitive tasks, such as an Outlook add-on that I developed in C# to automatically create JIRA tickets from incoming emails. I also wrote SQL scripts to compile custom data reports requested by our client managers and helped to resolve issues with Salesforce as well as our proprietary trading software.

Game Developer

Mega Cat Studios•  April 2016 - August 2017

At Mega Cat Studios I had the opportunity to work on some really fun NES games while sharpening my skills in C and 6502 Assembly. I learned a lot about writing highly efficient code and collaborating with others on creative game design. I also developed tools to boost productivity for me and other developers by automating tasks, such as converting a png background into a tiled graphic format that can be used on the NES. As I picked up the necessary skills quickly, I also helped to teach new developers how to effectively develop NES games.
