I have 12 months experience in iPhone and iPad development. Skills include Objective-C, Core Location, UIKit, Quartz, IPhone OS, OSX, Core Data. I have recently released 5 apps to the Apple App store: Chelsea Assist, West Ham Assist, Villa Assist, Man City Assist and Fulham Assist.
I am a highly skilled VBA developer in both Access and Excel with over 13 years experience in the trading and financial sector. I also have significant exposure to database development primarily SQL Server but also Sybase and Oracle and how to integrate them with Access and Excel via ADO and ODBC. I have also experience in C#, VB6 and with the use of market data such as Reuters and Bloomberg. I have wide amount of business knowledge gained from working in business areas as diverse as fund management, structured finance, commodities, fx, fixed income, equities, derivatives and have worked in the front office, middle office, risk and product control. I both develop new applications and support existing applications either on my own or in a small team.
In 2009 I was invited back to F&C Asset management for a week to further develop the FX counterparty risk system which I wrote in Oct 2008 which had been working reliably since then. This included further Excel VBA and SQL server 2005 development.
In 2008 I successfully completed an urgent requirement due to the ongoing banking crisis to develop a counterparty exposure and risk reporting system for F&C Asset Management's FX traders which was developed in Excel VBA and SQL Server with virtually no documentation of the back end trading system from which trade data was taken from.
In 2007 I held sole responsibility for maintaining and developing a suite of Excel spreadsheets and an Access database which were used daily to upload prices and curves in all currencies from Reuters and Bloomberg and generate the risk reports for the Exotic traders from the main risk system (Summit) for WestLB Market Risk Management.
