Deutsche Bank, NY City (Oct 2008 --Present)
Business Analyst / Technical Writer

My work in Deutsche Bank was on Bond Income Processing (BIP) work-stream of Project PMS (Portfolio management System). This work-stream had the responsibility of automating coupon projection posting process for bond securities in batch process for fixed bonds, float bonds and, step-up and step-down bonds. This work-stream was also responsible to deliver automated and on-demand reports for projections. Projections are created by actualizing a transaction or upon purchase / sale of a security. PMS did not require user intervention for posting bond coupon projections regardless of fixed, float or step-up/step-down bond. The automated process was seamless to the downstream users. My work-stream successfully deployed the product and delivered all code and non-code artifacts within time and budget.
