Summary
Paul Dempsey is a seasoned software engineer with two decades of experience delivering risk and P&L systems for interest rate trading desks, bridging Front Office needs with infrastructure through pragmatic VBA and OLAP solutions. He combines deep domain knowledge of OTC derivatives, pricing models and market data with hands-on implementation experience across Excel/Access VBA, SQL Server and more recently JavaScript, Angular and Google Apps Script. Known for prototyping robust specifications and test harnesses that scaled into enterprise OLAP implementations, he also built tooling that integrated Reuters, Bloomberg and SummitFT for daily risk calculations. Now transitioning into web development, he brings a disciplined engineering mindset and a track record of simplifying complex financial workflows into maintainable code. Off the clock he balances technical curiosity with practical project management—running two children’s football teams and delivering a year-long home extension while supporting a partner’s CTO career.
