* acted on users and devs complaints about the Trading Strategy control application, reimplemented and delivered the new control web-app in Kotlin and VueJS1. First Kotlin application for the company.
* implemented risk-control applicaiton A-Z: trade capture on dropcopy FIX sessions, recording to db, grouping and calculating current trading position
* implemented the individual exchange connection and server monitoring with the web-interface, and perf metrics in prometheus/grafana
* 2 projects in C# – for auditing the trades and market data redistribution (WinForms, no frameworks)
