Experience
Lead Software Engineer
February 2009 to December 2015Blackrock Financial Management - San Francisco, CA
  • Developed a unified Build System to allow language agnostic compilation and packaging of applications. The tool is a multi-threaded application that creates a graph of direct and transient dependencies and performs necessary operations on them, including checking out from various source control systems, compiling and packaging. The tool is optimised to only perform operations when changes occur.
  • The front end dashboard, called Build Server, utilizes an embedded Jetty, Twitter Bootstrap, Spring MVC and Hazelcast to distribute builds across a number of servers and aggregate build data into distributed build objects for view. Hazelcast handles both the distributed object data and a set of queues and listeners for distributing the build requests.
  • Developed a SAML based SSO platform used by internal and external applications. In implementation of this system, I worked closely with our security team to ensure both our registration and login pages are secure and that our encryption mechanisms are secure. We set up WebServices to retrieve user information both from the web and from our mobile iOS applications. Worked closely with various development teams for application integration and data migration into our registration platform. Test coverage of this system was 93% at the time I moved away from the project.
  • Directly managed other developers on various projects, primarily on the iShares North America and iShares Latin America web teams. I lead development of the Latin American iShares web sites and created a unified code base between various web sites that were currently in production when I began. This included the iShares US, Brazil and Mexico sites, and later the Chile and Europe sites. I also led the iShares North America web development team for 1 1/2 years during which time I worked closely with the business team to develop requirements, documentation of the web sites, and also with data and QA teams to ensure high data and site quality. I coded both back-end Java architecture and components and front end jsps and web components. Development projects include restyling of web site for the iShares team with completely rewritten front end code and redesigned and optimized back end code, with new code for a number of new services. The front end uses a number of different technologies, including Ajax, Flex, JSP and OO javascript. We also wrote a number of widgets for front end reuse for graphs and charts among other things. I wrote a back end based rules engine that drives how the various pages are configured based on fund data.
