About Alexander Medeiros

I am a Senior Software Engineering Researcher with just over a decade of experience. I\'ve worked on many projects over the years, but some important highlights include: I helped define the foundation of all future hardware products at Capital One, instructed and mentored dozens of students as they transitioned into the software engineering industry, and contributed to the oversight of several million-dollar projects on the board of directors of the building in which I reside.

Experience

1. Senior Software Engineering Researcher

   FINRA

   Jun 2022 — Present · Rockville, MD, US

   Built a data pipeline that ingests all publicly traded companies’ financial statements, extracts financial figures (i.e. Net Income), and publishes them to downstream consumers. • Financial statements come in all shapes and sizes according to the industry and company. To accurately extract facts and figures, I became intimately familiar with a standard called XBRL and the US Financial Standards Board recommendations. • Given a tight deadline my team was able to produce 94% of the data necessary to replace a vendor who was the source of this data.(They were recently deprecated for various reasons.) My pipeline also showed how calculated facts were derived, giving downstream researchers a better understanding of the data.
