Software Engineer
Futures Business Development Ltd.
(Financial Services industry)
March 2008 — March 2009 (1 year 1 month)
Developing applications to process large amounts of stock data, both online (live) and offline. Responsible for design, implementation and testing. Developing new applications, and optimizing and rewriting existing applications to be more efficient in terms of speed and memory consumption. Applications were built using C# 2.0/3.0 and MATLAB R2007a-R2008b.
As a quantitative measure, I have written MATLAB applications that are 5 to 10 times faster that their equivalents, while consuming 1 to 0.7 times memory. When memory was at a premium, I designed an algorithm to consume 1/4 to 1/8 of the memory consumption of another, older algorithm, and the new algorithm was still faster. The last project I made was built using C#, and it would process a certain amount of input in 10-13 seconds, while another competing application processed the same input in 3 minutes.
