Bank of New York Mellon is a leading financial institution specializing in Custody holding, Asset management etch for a large number of clients.

Project: Workbench / Reporting portal

Workbench is the reporting portal application, which provides reports on the client investments and performance. The portal consists of multiple applications like eReports, webCR, webInquire, RTC etc. The reports are mostly generated using Crystal, Actuate or Flex.

Role - Tech lead
Accomplishments:

ü      Worked on converting legacy Websphere based applications to the bank’s cloud platform called BXP.

ü      Worked in POC of converting some of the Workbench module to be SOA based shared service. Used Tuscany, WSO2, JAX-WS, Spring etc to convert the existing modules to SOA based independent serving shared service modules.

ü      Enhanced the security of the application by taking the preventing measures against Web based hacking attempts through XSS, URL Injection etc.

ü      Developed IBM eXtreme Scale based caching framework which improved the performance of Workbench application

ü      Involved in the design and development of reporting application named eReports-V2. The design proved to be quite a success showing more than 70% performance boost especially for large reports. Solved several critical design issues created by the initial developers. The performance encouraged the business users to migrate all the major reports to eRerport-V2. Currently all the top 15 reports of BNYM are V2 reports

ü      Modified the custom built excel writer application to support cells to contain more than 255 characters. Showed that the end performance was much better than 3rd party tools like Apache POI or FastExcel.

ü      Designed the solution for an easy way to integrate the existing reporting applications webCR, webInquire and eReports to integrate with the newly designed flex screens. This proved to be quite a cost saving as hundreds or reports were modified to have a new flex GUI without modifying the logic to build the reports.

ü      Developed an Adobe AIR application which used the flex modules to combine the data xml + design xml of the reports and get the pdf layout xml which is then fed to iText to generate the pdf. Even though the flex application is developed my multiple teams, I modularized them and wrapped them to an AIR application so that this can be run on the server side. Deployed this AIR application on the server side. Used Java Server framework to run the AIR application as a windows service.

ü      Worked on the integration of external reporting application belonging to SunGard. For the first time we successfully integrated Workbench portal with external applications and even provided the possibility to reuse Workbench’s report distribution modules. The required APIs are exposed through web services.

ü      Acted as tech lead for the migration Workbench portal to work with Safari and Firefox browsers. Major rework done on DOJO, Javascript based front end to make it compatible for Safari, Firefox and IE. Developed and distributed the guidelines for future front end development on Workbench so that they can be compatible with the major browsers.

Responsibilities:

ü      Responsible for the design of the application.

ü      Develop POCs when the requirement is complex or requires demo to the business sponsors before the full-scale development.

ü      Provide technical consultation whenever the team required.

ü      Provided production support for critical issues affecting the application.

ü      Design load test and analyze the results for fine-tuning the application.

Marsh is a leading insurance broker. Marsh receives the policies as paper documents from the insurance carriers and then sends a copy to the clients.

Project: ePolicy – Electronic delivery of Policy               (2009)

The ePolicy project intends to receive the documents electronically from the carrier. Carriers send the policy/endorsement documents to the marsh sftp server along with a control file. After the initial virus scans, documents are sent to the specified file server. The ePolicy process reads the control file and identifies the policy information sent. It uses the metadata provided by the carrier and the Policy Data Management system of Marsh to get enough information to identify the policy and its Client Executive. The process uploads the document to the Marsh Document management system (MCD) and sends email to the Client Executives regarding the policy and provides the location of the policy in MCD

Role - Tech Lead
Accomplishments:

ü      Led the team of 3 through the total Software development life cycle

ü      Provided the architecture model for the project

ü      Developed the module to parse the control file to identify the documents sent. Also, wrote the code to load the documents to MCD and update the database for the receipt of the policy/endorsement documents

Responsibilities:

ü      Responsible for the design of the application.

Project: Policy Data Management (PDM)               (2007)

PDM is one of the top 5 projects of Marsh. It is the central location to create and manage policies. It is the core part of Global 20 applications of Marsh, which aim to implement the straight through processing in Marsh.

The bound quotes from placement system form the policies. Non-Marsh placed policies can be entered directly in PDM. PDM provides the policy information to other consuming applications for Billing, Policy Checking, Document Generation, Auto ID generation, Claims handling etc. Policies are loaded into PDM from existing mainframe system called Basys. Non US policies are entered directly through PDM. Marsh has a single database for all the applications. This enables easy sharing of data between the applications. PDM is one of the 20 projects which exchange data between each other. POJOs called Core Entity Framework are created to provide services to consuming applications. These replaced the EJB/Web service calls used in the initial phase of the application. POJOs are developed with Spring as its backbone.
