Inter-process communication is implemented using a combination of remote procedure calls (RPC) and Reuters Triarch SSL. My team is responsibly for the design and development of the client application and those server processes that directly support it. My responsibilities include project scheduling, managing developers, design work, and coding. 

I was also responsible for developing a system to provide faxing capabilities to NT based workstations. The project involved developing a middle tier server to allow clients from a Visual Basic front end to transmit faxes to an external broadcast fax service. The server runs on NT, is multi-threaded, communicates with clients using RPC, and was developed using C++. My role included analysis, systems design, project management, and coding. Previously I managed a group of programmers developing applications for the Investment Banking division in a Windows and Windows NT environment. My responsibilities included managing individuals and projects, designing systems, and development. Significant group projects included:

My responsibilities included project management and designing the second generation version of the system.. an OLE based Windows shell for creating a highly integrated workstation for investment bankers. Developed in Visual C++. I was responsible of the initial design.  

Developing World Wide Web sites for both the public Internet and internal intranet. Sites developed using static HTML pages and CGI applications. A Windows NT based real-time alert server for delivering time critical information from external market data and News services based upon user specified criteria. This system used a fully distributed architecture utilizing remote Procedure calls. I was responsible for all design and development.
