Merrill Lynch wanted to replace an aging UNIX repo trading
system with a new Java based system. Additionally, they wanted
to fix the cumbersome interaction design
of the previous system while preserving some of the customized
interface designs they developed over the past 15 years.
Contribution
I worked with a cross section of users and analysts
in New York, Toronto, and London
to design the new system's User Interface.
After a series of high and low fidelity prototypes, I began developing
the new user interface and laying the architectural foundation
for an expanded system.
I eventually hired and lead a team of Swing developers
to complete the buildout allowing me to concentrate more
on interaction design, complex Swing customizations, and
architecture.
