Led the development of a sophisticated market impact analysis platform that helps institutional investors predict how their trading activities will affect market conditions. This enterprise-grade solution transforms complex financial algorithms into a scalable, maintainable system that delivers critical insights for trading operations. The companion Trade Cost Analysis (TCA) platform modernization significantly enhanced reporting capabilities while improving processing speed and calculation accuracy.

Project Journey

1

The Challenge

A collection of analyst-developed scripts lacked enterprise reliability, scalability, and maintainability. The existing TCA reporting infrastructure was outdated, prone to errors, and inefficient at processing large trading volumes.

2

The Solution

Architected and implemented a high-performance API using Django REST Framework to systematically transform financial algorithms into a robust enterprise product. For the TCA platform, I implemented modern software development lifecycle practices, rebuilt the calculation engine with proper separation of concerns, and created comprehensive automated testing suites.
