Working as part of the "Knowledge Management" team (basically the Market Data team) on secondment as part of a 3-man team deployed with the Active Equities Research team. Worked with equities researchers ("Quants") and portfolio managers providing rapid Perl development and Unix skills to load data from various sources into Sybase IQ for the equities researchers of the Alpha Generation team to identify possible investment strategies.

Hardware used was exclusively Sun (apart from desktop) and the main technical skills were Perl (both OO and Procedural), Sybase IQ and ASE, Transact-SQL, Unix and shell.

Provided knowledge of various internal data systems, Sybase/SQL and Unix to the equities researchers and knowledge of Perl & Unix to other members of the team via the internal Wiki.
