Salomon/PhiBro: Oil and Gas Global Trading System

Salomon/Phibro
Westport, CT
1992

Worked with traders and MIS management to successfully redesign a document and workflow management system integrating and automating front, mid, and back office oil and gas commodities trading database applications.

Designed a commercial accounting system for managing the costs of the physical trading of oil and gas commodities.

Performed a stress analysis and test of an object oriented global trading system, identified shortcomings and risks, and recommended design improvements. Lead a team to design and build an unique object relational layer over Sybase SQL Server and integrated it with NeXT IntefaceBuilder.

Designed and built an object layer over CLIPS, so business rules could be automatically applied to all aspects of the trading and accounting operations to prevent errors, generate acknowledgments, and minimize risk.

The system was delivered to run on NeXT Computers. A copy of the system was sold to Mobil Oil for several millions of dollars. The exact amount is confidential.
