Working first in the MiBa project for Swiss Bank Corporation (SBC) which, subsequent
to the merger between UBS and SBC became the CUBE project, as part of the development
team responsible for designing and implementing the CUBE core services intended
to take the bank well into the next century.
This project uses CORBA and Enterprise Java Beans as its core architectural
components to provide the underlying services required by the bank.
Initial work in the Build team as team leader for the design and construction
of an in-house CORBA based integration test tool.This tool enables the construction
of regression test programmes using a GUI based programming environment.
Subsequently leading the construction of the first prototype implementation of the Partner information system using IBM's Component Broker leading subsequently to the lead of the Application System Design group responsible for the design and implementation of the bank's Client Account system. This continues the previous prototype effort which will lead to the migration of the bank's current system in 2001.
1991 - 1996 Logica Informatik A.G. Zürich, Switzerland
Electronic Stock Exchange (EBS) Bonds & Equities, Zürich
This project was a continuation of Logica's involvement in EBS, which
automates trading on the three largest Swiss Stock Exchanges (Zürich,
Basel and Geneva) and has now successfully gone live after five years development.
The central Exchange System is now on a DEC VAX/VMS platform and the Trading
System on DEC OSF/1 and Sun Solaris platforms.
This was a large and technically challenging project involving replicated
databases, multiple, redundant servers and reliable broadcasting technology.
Specific activities included:
– Part of the team responsible for the initial technical design and
functional specifications.
– Responsible for the Trading System user interface functional specification
and high level design.
– Responsible for much of the detail design and Team leader for the
implementation of the Trading System graphical user interface. This was
a large and complex Object-Oriented development using C++ and a number
of third party libraries.
1990 - 1991 Logica Informatik A.G. Zürich, Switzerland
Electronic Stock Exchange (EBS), Zürich and Darmstadt
EBS is a computerized stock exchange system for trading in fixed interest securities on behalf of the Zürich, Geneva and Basel exchanges. Orders are entered into a central order book by each market participant and trades are made by an automatic matching process or by a computerized trade acceptance system. The system has a central IBM System 88 performing the exchange matching functions with a System 88 at each of the exchange sites connected to PC-based trading systems.
The project was developed at Logica GmbH in Darmstadt, West Germany for the first 18 months for the Association Tripartite Bourses (ATB) with occasional work at the ATB site in Zürich.
Specific responsibilities included:
– Writing script based test tools for regression and acceptance testing
of the EBS central system (IBM S/88). The test engine was written in C
and SQL to run on the IBM S/88..
– Development of the prototype for the Bonds trading system workstation.
The prototype was written in C on OSF/MOTIF to run in an X-Windows environment.
1988 - 1990 Wyatt Brothers Ltd., Chessington, England
Contract employment on the software for a new dealer desk system. Written mainly in 'C' with some time-critical parts in assembler. This system was developed using IBM PCs as cross development tools. Responsibilities were for the design and implementation of I/O systems on the on-line part of the project together with a significant part of the desk management work-station software. This latter part was written in 'C' to run under Microsoft Windows and MS-DOS and provides a graphical control interface to the complete dealing system.
1987 - 1988 Dexion Electronics Ltd., Bedford, England
Contract employment working on the software of a network information system. Complete implementation of a token passing network controller. The system was based on the I.E.E.E. 802.4 token passing bus using 8051/8044 microprocessors programmed in PLM51. Also undertaken here was the design of a simple B.I.O.S. to support a Forth programming system on proprietary 80186 based graphics work-station. This system was written in 8086 assembler using IBM PCs as the development environment.
1986 - 1987 Occam Design Ltd, Malmesbury, England
Fixed price contract for the complete system design and implementation of a numerically controlled machine tool for Neiman GmbH. Main control programme was written in Pascal running on an IBM PC controlling a CNC machine programmed in assembler. Having complete responsibility for completion and delivery of the software to the OEM and final customer as well as assisting in the installation of the machine on site.
1985 - 1986 Lucas Micos Ltd., Cirencester, England
Contract employment to write a series of 'KERMIT' communications packages to connect the local UNIX system to a series of microprocessor development systems. The packages were written in assembler for Intel 8085 and Motorola 6800/6809 systems. Testing involved some 'C' work together with the use of the UNIX system as a test bed.
1984 - 1985 Olivetti, Milan, Italy
Working in Ivrea and Milan involved in the production of a networked point-of-sale system. Writing in Z80 assembler, routines were provided to enhance the basic CP/M operating system used on the POS computer. Principally responsible for the system integration.
1982 - 1984 Fralsen SARL, Besançon, France
Contractor working as part of an international team developing the software for an intelligent banking terminal. The design involved work on Z80 and 6502 assembler for a small network of transaction validation machines. Work was undertaken both at Besançon and in Paris at Olivetti as part of the project finalisation.
1980 - 1982 Lucas Micos Ltd., Cirencester, England
Worked on the software for a variety of real-time control systems used for microprocessor based engine management systems. These were written in assembler and PL/M for a variety of Motorola and Intel single chip micro controllers.
1978 - 1980 Linotype Paul Ltd., Cheltenham, England
Worked in the production engineering department writing production test software for the complex phototypesetting equipment manufactured in Cheltenham.
1977 - 1988 Reading College of Technology, Reading, England
Temporary employment whilst studying for the HNC but some FORTRAN programming experience obtained.
1975 - 1977 Control System Consultants, Reading, England
Work on the hardware design of various analogue and digital systems.
