CGI Web Server Messages
The CGI Web Messager is a Linux server process written in C++, OOD implementing the Reactor pattern and the Chain of handlers to manage the web client requests sent by html form.
The form will call the CGI Client who will forward the requests to CGI Server via Tcp/IP protocol. The purpose is to use this architecture to expose to the web several services as database query, data analysis, mathematical computation using the power and flexibility of C++ Language.
Please follow this link for a quick demo. The CGI server Messages will manage the requests of log in, of creation for new user and account checks.

Mathematical Libraries
We have been involved in a project of partnership with our client to develop a quantitative framework for pricing several derivatives Products in portfolio. The assets classes were Forex, Equity and Interest Rates. We have used the BlackScholes Model for Forex and the LMM1F Model for Interest Rates payoffs. The Numerical Methods were MonteCarlo with Antithetic Mode and Binomial Tree.
