Daniel - Développeur C++

Interface Development Manager – Swisscom
Jan 2008 – Present
Design, development and test of interfaces between Swisscom systems, Hotel systems and 3rd party vendor systems.
• Interfacing with industry standard FIAS as well as design and implementation for bespoke systems both cloud and local, Hetras, Disney, Pierre & Vacances, XML/SOAP, Comtrol Lodging Link. Integration with HSIA (SOAP) back-end systems for billing and accounting.
• Design, development and test of room control systems particularly management and integration within IPTV/HSIA framework.
• Interface test development automation in .NET to provide detailed availability/reliability statistics for typical scenario and patterns of interface usage.
• Saia-Burgess SNMP/CGI driven controls for Citizen-M projects. Schneider Electric AS controls and AIBB controls for Okko hotel project. Room lighting/ventilation. Android tablets and IPTV system to drive controls and TV system. Including refit of Glasgow property from Beckhoff and development of software to enable legacy Philips systems to remain viable.
• Virtualization of legacy Philips Ambient Experience systems to manage risks of aging hardware. Javascript development to provide future utility for Philips IP based remote controls. Moving room control box from Beckhoff systems to Saia-Burgess.
• Implementation of VOIP systems in hotels including, NEC Spherical and Centile systems. System designed and implemented to provide billing for VOIP systems including call rating of CDR, hosted and remote.
• Gateway device unification - Manage the unification of a number of gateway systems to enable a single interface to hotel PMS systems.
• Responsible for a small team of developers.

Development Engineer – Jean Lutz SA
2007 – 2008 (3 Months CDD)
Development of analysis and visualization software for drilling platforms for the gas/oil industryVisual Studio C# on Windows CE embedded controller for visualization of drill parameters/condition avoiding need for costly visual inspection. Development of interface to allow for Japanese (Kana) input/output.

Research Associate – Centre for Quantitative Finance, Imperial College
2000 – 2007
Research and development for financial modeling and risk management.
• Large-scale simulation for European real-time stock signaling, EUROSIGNAL (IST—2000--29405).
• Involved in an on-line financial time series and macro economic database design and setup for the EU-sponsored project, the project developed a software prototype incorporating a large-scale real-time simulation model of the European stock markets.
• Development of Neural networks for Financial modeling for external industry consultancy, risk analysis and option pricing for RBS.
• Optimization of Financial modeling code with SSE to improve performance, achieving gains approaching ~40% over standard compilation on Opteron hardware for core code paths. Development in Visual C 6.0 and gcc environments.

Research Associate – High Performance Systems Group, University of Warwick
1996 – 2000
• Research into performance prediction for parallel/distributed systems, DARPA Contract N66001-97-C-8530. Analysis of compiler intermediate format for performance prediction. modeled with Stanford University Intermediate Format (SUIF). Modeling of Superscalar/pipelined CPUs (MIPS/SPARC), for improving the analysis/prediction model.
• Designed/Built parallel communication network model for T3D and Transputer systems, used for communication modeling within the Warwick Performance Analysis and Characterization Environment PACE.
• Developed in Java GUI for PACE to allow construction and visualization of performance models including analysis of results.
• Design of genetic algorithm (GA) for job scheduling on distributed systems, GA performed "tetris" simulation to find shortest run time for a given set of tasks apriori modeled in PACE.

Support Analyst – Norton Rose
1994-1995
• Employed in the computer center of a multinational law firm. Participated in the implementation of a new intra-net as part of an office move including hardware, cabling and network management, Novell networks.
