About Daniel Zalika

I\'m a software developer and manager with 20 years of financial industry experience and 15 years in software engineering. I build robust and scalable data processing systems, with a focus on micro-services API design choices and best practice strategies.I designed and implemented Excel Connect, the Excel-based integration for Alpha Theory, and I recently released the 2.0 version to our client base! A demo of this product, the Excel Connect add-in, can be seen here: https://vimeo.com/27•••••87. If you have any use for Excel as part of your portfolio management workflow, this could be interesting to you. Please reach out if you want to know more.I also lead our onboarding and integration efforts with the help of a great team. In a Software-as-a-Service fulfillment, it\'s important to know how our clients are using our products and to design their their custom modifications as configurable components instead of standalone one-offs. At least that\'s what we strive for, there\'s always room for improvement. Lastly, I head up our Security Master efforts to make sure that we get the best out of our real time, delayed and end-of-day pricing for global Equities and Options.
