I worked as a Software Architect and Lead Developer consultant at RBS for several years. We built some cutting edge trading tools while I was there and I was privileged to work with a wonderful team.

- Designed the organization’s highly-available and scalable JBoss AS7 infrastructure. This includes the creation, deployment and management of multi-environment JBoss AS7 clustered domains across datacenters with the goal of zero down-time of critical banking systems.
- Pioneered SOA concepts within the organization with the design and development of REST-based JEE fixed income trading information services.

ScotLend provides features like real-time pricing, position analysis, workflow management and up-to-date reporting of RBS’ Whole Loan Mortgage Warehouse.
