Development with extensive market connectivity experience expecting to be available for new contract work from early September 2004. Working primarily with equities and equity derivatives, I have recently implemented systems to interface to the following exchanges: Virt-x (Swiss), SWITCH (Dutch), MEFF (Spanish), SIBE (Spanish) and Osaka (Japanese). Previously I connected to more generalised feeds such as the Nordic Markets Feed, the Consolidated Exchange Feed (Deutsche Borse) and the World Information Feed (Spanish language exchanges). I have extensive experience of FIX 4.2, including having developed for a client a FIX 4.2 validation tool that I believe is still more comprehensive than anything on the market.
I work primarily in C++ (but with experience in other languages such as Java), on Solaris, Windows or Linux. Associated technical skills include TCP/IP, SQL (Sybase and SQL Server), high performance databases, as well as some web-skills (particularly HTML).
I am based south of London (UK). I am primarily interested in positions in London/City or the south-east of England (but not Docklands). Alternatively, project that’s can be done from my location using broadband links for communications.
