Worked on the design and execution of a Spring Boot microservice that assists IXI Investments to reconcile real-time trades with external brokers and keep up-to-date records. The solution fetches information from various liquidity providers and financial bridge software using the FIX 4.4 protocol, reconciling real-time information using execution order IDs, client order IDs, or even generic volume, symbol, and order direction.
Proposed a new solution to resolve a replication issue that occurred when changing data capture from OLTP databases to Netezza, resulting in poor replication performance. The new solution groups many transactions from different source tables into one super target table containing all the columns for all the replicated tables and metadata, acting as a buffer table.
Designed and implemented a partial ordering solution to enhance the service that streams data from multiple inputs. The service includes several Java concurrency constructs that stream millions of daily data points and ensure partial ordering. The solution streams more data every year and is performing consistently.
