Large LSHC client: • Led a team of engineers in the successful delivery of 14 complex modules within deadlines. • Championed cost-optimized solutions by collaborating with client architects and business users, resulting in designs that met real-time needs and improved report performance. • Proactively identified performance bottlenecks during development. Proposed code refactoring approaches that enhanced SQL performance by 70%. • Owned end-to-end Airflow orchestration. • Streamlined the Handover process by creating a DevOps tally sheet to reconcile client artifacts and led KT sessions to support the team. • Evaluated and implemented automation tools which reduced testing time by 60% after team adoption. • Spearheaded the creation of templates for TUT test cases, code/peer review checklists, and lineage documents, streamlining development processes. Large Retail client: • Owned the design, coding, and UAT support for a critical use case, resolving multiple issues and ensuring successful delivery. • Acted as a Single Point of Contact (SPOC) liaising between the CI/CD and MTRC teams to streamline the development and deployment process. • Spearheaded coding standards and best practices within the Inventory team, leading to zero defects for 3-4 consecutive releases through diligent code reviews. This significantly improved overall code quality and reduced incident rates by 80%. • Identified critical use case data gaps. Estimated requirements, collaborated with the Product Owner to create user stories, and drove the team to close these gaps. • Played a key role in transitioning 200+ jobs to L1 support team. This initiative reduced code debt. • Led the team to optimize 90% of production code for Teradata by tuning Sqls, enhancing performance and efficiency. • Demonstrated innovative thinking by designing a customizable API-based project. This approach reduced development cycle.

• Delivered robust solutions through expertise in code development, testing, performance optimization, and process improvement. • Analyzed ad-hoc requests from Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and business users, identifying root causes and proposing solutions. • Collaborated effectively with client SMEs to discuss issues, resolve them, and obtain approvals for design approaches. • Conducted impact analysis to assess potential risks and dependencies associated with upgrades or new releases from upstream systems. • Facilitated pre-refinement discussions with the team to understand user stories in the backlog, assign story points, and prioritize tasks for upcoming sprints. • Collaborated with Product Owner (PO) and Scrum Master to prioritize user stories for the next sprint. • Developed and presented demo decks for sprint demos, effectively communicating project progress to stakeholders.

Large multinational financial services corporation: Re-engineering project: • Participated in the entire project lifecycle, from analyzing C-Syncsort/mainframe code to designing, building, testing, and supporting the production environment. • Developed dynamic parameter files using UNIX shell scripts to automate tasks and adapt to versioned source files. • Implemented Control M to schedule jobs for efficient execution. • Conducted root cause analysis and trend analysis to identify and address system issues. • Collaborated with clients to gather requirements and designed effective ETL processes. • Provided walkthrough sessions to users for report validation, ensuring clarity and understanding. • Created data mapping documents, high-level and low-level design documents for clear project communication. • Analyzed reports and optimized query performance to improve data retrieval efficiency. • Performed Proof-of-Concept (POC) for Informatica TDM and DVO to evaluate data management solutions.
