Joe is a software professional with a proven track record of developing trading and risk systems in the financial services sector. At Global Atlantic, he has engineered systems that are vital to business operations, driving significant efficiency gains. His transition into software development began as a judicial paralegal, where he independently learned to code and pioneered automation solutions to streamline report generation, optimizing workflows and improving accuracy. He has a strong passion for technology, finance, economics, and law.
As a Software Engineer in the Risk and Investments division, my team and I design and develop business application technologies that are essential to the firm's success. I have developed applications from the initial idea and planning stages—often refining ambiguous requirements through multiple iterations—to production-ready systems used across the company. These applications support our trading desks and cater to both technical and non-technical users.
While working as a judicial paralegal, I identified opportunities to enhance efficiency by automating the generation of reports and summaries through Excel VBA and other technologies. Recognizing the potential for process improvement, I proactively learned to code and developed automated solutions that significantly reduced report generation time while eliminating the risk of human error.
