Together we create a culture of inclusion built on trust, respect, and integrity, where each person's contribution is critical to our success.

As a Quantitative Developer on the Rates team at Quantifi, I am able to participate in numerous tasks throughout any given day. Typically my day could include, meetings with product managers to understand and refine functional requirements, the design and implementation of robust, efficient and elegant solutions that meet functional requirements, as well as working closely with my colleagues to insure optimal results of all model integrations.

My role requires me to collaborate with the financial engineering team to ensure seamless integration of financial models into the Quantifi Risk system while enhancing and supporting fixed income analytics/sensitivity calculations. Other groups I rely on heavily are the QA and Client Services Group. As we work as one large team, Quantifi is able to ensure that products are properly tested, documented and supported. Recently, I was able to successfully implement a new rate curve construction in the Quantifi Risk system. There is nothing more exciting than seeing the successful realisation of a project. To be able to directly contribute to the success of product development is truly inspiring. The best part of being a quantitative developer at Quantifi is being able to understand and implement the latest financial models for fixed income products and participate in the process of producing a remarkable risk management system.

Before joining Quantifi I worked within two separate hedge funds trading fixed income products, during which, my role included setting up models and analysis to support the trade decision-making process. I also conducted research on various fixed income products and derivatives, which led to implementing risk management for the portfolio. The opportunity of researching various products on the market and the execution of various technology skills to efficiently optimise and support the products prepared me well for the role in Quantifi.

As a Senior Software Developer at Quantifi, each and every day is unique as well as challenging which makes my job exciting. With ever changing financial markets, I can expect each day to be a mix of research, support, design and development duties. One day I might be researching a market change that could have an impact on our products and then identify ways to incorporate a resolution.  On another day I may work on a software design project or assist our Client Services Group in resolving a technical issue at a clients’ site.

Being a part of Quantifi for over four years, I have had the opportunity to help improve the Credit and Risk analysis product suite to address market trends and client requirements.  Some of my most recent achievements at Quantifi  are the Credit Event Management and DTCC Deriv/Serv Interface modules of the Risk product suite.

One thing I can attest to is that within my role at Quantifi I am encouraged to embrace every opportunity to learn and work on the latest technologies. Each new project affords me the chance to communicate and collaborate with a very knowledgeable peer group and I have the added benefit of learning something new within the financial domain.

Before joining Quantifi, I worked as a Software Developer for FIRST Responders Systems and Technologies, a Baton Rouge based company that developed Emergency Response Software for Fire and Police departments. Whilst there, my primary responsibilities were to work on the core design, architecture and UI components of their software product, which involved a great deal of interaction with clients. This experience laid the basic foundation for my software development career at Quantifi.
