  Project Leader

  At Citi Bank Japan, I led offshore team for multiple projects, including:• Rate Server System: It captures market rates such as Foreign Exchange, interest rates, and futures from leading upstream sources including Reuters, Bloomberg, MarkIT and GBK. It validates these rates based on predefined criteria, calculates derived rates and Yield Curves and distributes them to critical downstream applications such as Trestel, Flexcube, Sydney Land, Wall Street, Credit Engine NY, OASYS, and PRISM. Distribution is tailored to each application's specifications, utilizing MQ series, stored procedure calls, API calls and SFTP/NDM for file transfers. This centralized repository ensures accurate, consistent, and timely delivery of market data to downstream systems, reducing operational costs and mitigating risks.• CMS (Confirmation & Matching System): It is designed to efficiently match transactions between counterparties or brokers and counterparties across FX (Foreign Exchange), MM (Money Market), and FXO (Foreign Exchange Options). For counterparties using SWIFT communication, CMS sends and receives MT300 (FX) and MT320 (MM) messages. Daily reconciliation of transactions is performed, and comprehensive reports are transmitted seamlessly to the Flexcube system. Single sign-on authentication across these systems is facilitated through Citisafe.• SJI (SECORE & JASDEC Interface): SJI acts as a crucial interface linking SECORE and JASDEC systems at Citibank. It facilitates the matching of deals initiated via SECORE with corresponding details from JASDEC through MT54x messages. SJI manages confirmation messaging post pre-matching, oversees settlement processes, and ensures accurate post-settlement confirmations are sent to all relevant parties involved. Show less
