As an Integration Engineer, I orchestrate the communication between multiple Credit Default Swap trade capture, affirmation and legal confirmation systems. My strong client-facing skills -- including precise verbal and written communication, and thorough yet succinct documentation -- ensure that multiple buy-side and dealer firms can progress towards complex integration goals with clarity. My in-depth Java and SQL experience provides a deep understanding of back-end and API-level architecture.

Intercontinental Exchange (ICE)
Direct Credit Derivative dealers, derivative clearing managers, buy-side clients and IT vendors in integrating their systems with ICE Link, the leading derivatives affirmation and clearing platform. I have documented, developed, and guided clients through a wide array of ICE Link integrations, including Java API, FpML, CSV, and MQ-based solutions. Most recently, I have served as the lead contact in the ICE Clear/ICE Trust Buyside Clearing Early-Adopter End-to-End testing program, which certifies all major investment banks and several high-volume hedge funds as they prepare to clear CDS with a central ICE counterparty. Also, I have played a key role in the development of ICE Link's support for STP of ICE Final Clearing Instructions.

In this client-facing role, clear communication, organizational and interpersonal skills are blended with the extensive use of Java 1.5 and related technologies. These include FpML, the Spring framework, Maven, Eclipse, SVN, Tomcat, and XML APIs; Oracle, including Oracle SQL Developer; Unix shell scripting; and Excel.
