Project: Facets Solution Group - Build Package Deploy (FSG-BPD)

FAST (Facets Application Support Tool) is an in-house product for Builds, Deployments, Releases, SFTM, CMU, etc. Its a web application developed in C# on ASP.NET framework & SQL server database.

▪ Involved in entire software development lifecycle (SDLC) i.e. development using Visual Studio IDE, testing, deployment through TFS pipelines to Dev, Test, Stage & Prod environments.

▪ Developed multiple new functionalities in FAST Application, some of the major features that helped the business and Facets CSP teams significantly are listed below:

o SVN Path Enforcement: This feature enforced the developers to commit code objects at appropriate path in the repository based on the Functional Segment, Process Type and Process for the code. It helped in maintaining the code on SVN and streamline the development process.

o FAST Utilities Reports: This feature generated multiple useful reports - Missing Deployments, Permissions, SVN and Package Audit. Worked on the logic/stored procedures for getting these reports from SQL Server database & developed web form Utility Reports Dashboard using Charts for displaying reports on front end and also to excel & send them automatically via email to the target audience.

FACETS CSP 5.4 R1-4 Upgrade Project:

Facets (Trizetto Product) is a healthcare claims processing system having various modules – Claims, Membership, Provider, Billing, Finance, etc. to carry out day to day organization work.

▪ Perform Facets Oracle database analysis for the new functionalities provided in Facets 5.5 R1-4 Trizetto releases & determine the new/modified tables, triggers, indexes, stored procedures, functions, synonyms & grants

▪ Post analysis develop necessary sql scripts & BPD packages that must be deployed on database so that Upgrade Framework tool could perform upgrade

▪ Develop pre-upgrade synonym rollback and post-upgrade synonym deployment sql scripts for the SFTM tool used by CMU

▪ Create Change ticket on ServiceNow & coordinate with all impacted cross application teams for a successful Mock Go live & Go Live

Project: CnS Product Engineering Team

Sonarqube & Fortify Scan for FACETS CSP Application :
▪ Created Portfolio, Project keys, Quality Gates, etc. for Facets CSP & Sub-Portfolios for its domains like Membership, Claims, Finance, etc. on Optum Sonar portal & setup their permissions based on AD groups

▪ Utilized DSL plugin & groovy scripting on Jenkins to create needed jobs for performing the scans

▪ There are 750+ GitHub Repositories in CSP organization having about 7 branches each, setup github webhooks to automatically trigger build on jobs for publishing new scan results for every code commit

▪ Created Versions of Facets CSP` on Scar SSC portal for publishing fortify scan artifacts specific to various dotnet extensions

CnS Release Content, Scheduling & IIA- Implementation Instructions Automation:
▪ Design & drive development of UI for Release content & scheduling pages on .NET Core based new FAST web app using MVC 6, entity framework core & Web APIs to display release content data comprising of Project feed from PPM optics & SharePoint, Problem tickets from ServiceNow, User Stories & Milestones# from Rally along with their Production Release date, Scrum Master/Developer Name, etc.

▪ Provide the ability to scrum teams to schedule a deployment date (Release) for their Project

▪ Eliminate requirement of manually providing implementation instruction documents by developing a new Implementation Instructions screen for the Developers within CnS portfolio to provide steps for deployment along with validation & backout details

▪ Automated creation of deployment plan & ServiceNow change tasks through APIs & pre-approved change tickets

▪ Created an Event Calendar to publish data for all kind of Production Releases, Patching, Environment Downtime, On Call Resources, etc.

Release Train Project:
Production Releases in CnS were happening on a monthly or quarterly basis which was heavily affecting the business as new code fixes/requirements couldn’t be delivered frequently, so Release cycle needed to be cut down to weekly releases.

▪ Design & implement a new process to have fast & reliable weekly Release cycle

▪ Utilize CI/CD capabilities offered by DevOps tools – Jenkins, XL Release, etc. & in-house tool - FAST to achieve the same

▪ Have proper environments & code lines setup e.g. Agile codeline, to support weekly releases

▪ Demonstrate the process to CnS audience and rollout the process

CSP Repository Migration from SVN to Github:
▪ Implement changes in .NET based 'Build' console application of FAST to checkout code from GitHub repository instead of CodeHub

▪ Setup new GitHub Organization with 750+ repositories & migration of code from SVN

▪ Setup of required GitHub webhooks, development branches, default settings, protected branches, permissions, code merge strategy, etc.

▪ Analyze & implement changes in Jenkins jobs for using GitHub
