Real-time market data system
Leveraged Apache Storm to build a distributed, fault-tolerant platform to process streams of tens of millions of market data points for bonds and other financial instruments in real-time. The platform interacts with data stores such as Cassandra and Solr and uses machine learning algorithms to gain analytical insight into streaming data.
Predictive mortgage analysis Created a distributed platform using Spark and Hadoop to analyze 1 billion loan-level mortgage observations growing at a rate of 25 million observations per month. Used machine learning algorithms on the entire data set to build a predictive model to identify whether a loan will default.
