C U R R I C U L U M V I T A E O F

JOEL MILLINI have a passion for crafting innovative solutions to challenging problems. With early exposure to highly systematic disciplines including programing and architectural design and long experience in varying fields, media and applications, I possess a strong under-standing of the importance of inter-relational and limiting factors which may affect any type of solution or system. With this understanding and application of Human Interac-tion Design principles, I strive to achieve the best possible solution and user experience to gracefully address the problem at hand.

I also love working with people more creative and smarter than myself, in the capacity of both a colleague and a rival. I believe strongly in teamwork and appreciate construc-tive criticism which challenges convention, provides a new point of view and ultimately leads to better ideas which helps push progress towards the common goal.

My hope is to find a place as part of an energetic team of professionals where my abilities will prove to be of benefit and add to a synergy that pushes the bounds of creativity and innovation.

In cooperation with Intelligent Wave Inc. (our business partner in Japan) and based on Devexperts latest dxTrade framework, created a fully localized equities trading platform compliant with a majority of JFSA regulations.

The solution included front & middle office functionality, web based trading and administration UIs.

The HTML5 web-based trade client is highly customizable with a feature set that rivals existing rich clients. It supports an extensible set of tool (widgets) allowing free selec-tion and arrangement as well as multiple workspaces providing the user with full control of UI layout and display to match individual trading workflow and style.

The following are a few examples of the many screens and variants designed and specced for this project.

• Involved in all aspects of planning including JFSA and JPX regulatory compliance.

• Requirements gathering and functional specification development (4 months).

• UI/UX design, creation of design specifications and daily conference calls with design analysts and UI developers.

• UI design and localization including creation of Japan specific screens & tools.

• Acted as communications bridge between local, PMO and developmental sides.

From June of 2014, began an extended consulting project for the Osaka Exchange (OSE) who were seeking a way to improve visibility and popularity of option trading in Japan.

As part of the proposal, accompanied OSE team members to Chicago in November of 2014 to attend the FIA Expo 2014. Additionally, setup visits and led discussions with CME, TDAmeritrade and TastyTrade.

Options trading was never extremely popular in Japan, but in the aftermath of the Tōhoku earthquake that hit Japan on March 11th 2011 popularity dropped to an all time low. At the time of the quake, the Nikkei Index temporarily plummeted and in a panic, brokers started immediate loss-cutting activities causing thousands of traders to lose their assets and ended in multiple class action lawsuits and a few brokers going out of business.
