I have worked for Barclays Capital as an architect in Commodities trading.

I have worked for BP, a world leading energy trading company, architecting, designing and implementing a Credit Risk solution based on a Murex MLC/MxML Exchange, Documentum, ASP.NET, Informatica ETL, Oracle, JMS and OpenAdaptor.

I have worked at Citigroup, one of the worlds largest financial companies. I worked in the Global Corporate and Investment Bank as a technical architect.

I am an Associate Member of the Securities & Investment Institute. I hold an Investment Administration Qualification specialising in Exchange Traded Derivatives.

I have also worked for telecoms giant Motorola.

I worked in a number of divisions at Motorola: the Cellular Infrastructure Group in Vancouver B.C., Canada and the Global Telecom Solutions Sector in Cork, Ireland. I was a member of the Requirements and Architecture Group at Motorola.

Projects included C/C++ development, CORBA, GSM network fault management and industry standard 3GPP interfaces. As part of this work I took part in the specification process co-ordinated by 3GPP.

While at Motorola I drafted a new notifications log management standard for 3G networks on behalf of Motorola. The latest incarnation of the specs are: TS 32.331 Telecommunication management; Notification log Integration Reference Point (IRP): Requirements TS 32.332 Telecommunication management; Notification log Integration Reference Point (IRP): Information Service (IS) TS 32.333 Telecommunication management; Notification log Integration Reference Point (IRP): Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) Solution Set (SS)

The proposal is slated for Release 6 of the 3GPP technical specifications as part of the Operation, Administration & Maintenance - Network Infrastructure Management building block. See the 3GPP website for more details.
