This page is supplemental where I get to talk about some of the the more interesting projects that I have been involved in over my career. It is an ongoing project and I will add more information as I find time.

Unigy

I am often asked if I have any financial services experience specifically with  “Wall Street”  or “Trading Floor” systems. I usually respond that I have worked on the currently most advanced integrated platform for trading communications and applications today, Unigy. This platform was specifically designed to make the entire trading environment more productive. It is currently used on the NYSE, Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and the DUBAI, United Arab Emirates Professional Traders (DPTG) trading floor.

The Advanced Spectroscopic Portal

In the wake of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the Dept of Homeland spearheaded an initiative for increased security for detection of fissionable nuclear material at U.S.Border crossings.  The Advanced Spectroscopic Portal Project was born.

Spectroscopic Portals can detect the Activity, meaning the rate of radio active Decay) of any fissionable materials in a cargo load, even if they are hidden inside crates of supplies or complicated machinery. Spectroscopic Portals have the ability to detect both Gamma and Neutron radiation levels that are only slightly above normal background radiation.

Bloomberg Web Services API

The Bloomberg Web Services API has become one of the financial services  industry standards for real time security pricing information.  I have had the pleasure of working on many web terminal projects that utilize this API and for those who have a little coding and XML experience you will be pleased to find out that it is very well documented with plenty of sample code snippets.

 

FIM92A Stinger Missile System

I like to throw in some of my military experience. The FIM-92 Stinger is a Man-Portable Air-Defense System (MANPADS) that operates as an infrared homing surface-to-air missile (SAM). It can be adapted to fire from a wide variety of ground vehicles and helicopters (as an AAM). Developed in the United States this weapon system entered service in 1981 and is used by the militaries of the United States and by 29 other countries. It is principally manufactured by Raytheon Missile Systems and is produced under license by EADS in Germany and by Roketsan in Turkey with 70,000 missiles produced
