Other

Having long-term experience with Front Office systems I am looking for projects on the verge between IT and business preferably having trading and risk office background, especially in financial institutions (i.e. bank, fund, energy trader).

Having good database (SQL), programming skills (Java, Python, agile development) and experience with different operation systems (MS, UNIX, Linux) developed in different projects for financial institutions, I also have a solid business background and in-depth knowledge of various financial instruments, trading, risk management and business processes both in large and small organizations. Being able to understand the business I am being capable to analyze the requirements, support and develop relevant software applications and be part of the test management process.
