Project: Modernization of Legacy Systems
Synopsis: Transitioned a monolithic .NET Framework 4.6.2 system to a microservices-based architecture using .NET Core, Kafka Flow, and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
Platform: .NET Core, Kafka Flow, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Prometheus, Grafana, GitLab Actions, Docker, Kubernetes.

• Led a cross-functional team to modernize a legacy system, addressing inefficiencies, security vulnerabilities, and scalability issues.
• Spearheaded the automation of file transfers, real-time job tracking, and GDPR compliance, resulting in a 50% reduction in manual effort and 99.9% system uptime.
• Oversaw the deployment of CI/CD pipelines using GitLab Actions, Docker, and Kubernetes, ensuring seamless and scalable deployments.
• Successfully migrated the system to .NET 6.0, improving performance and reducing memory usage.
• Implemented real-time dashboards using Prometheus and Grafana to monitor system performance and SLAs, enabling proactive issue resolution.
• Conducted training sessions to upskill the team on REST APIs and advanced security protocols, ensuring long-term system maintainability.
• Achieved a 15% improvement in client satisfaction through faster turnaround times and fewer errors.

• Implemented cost-saving strategies, resulting in a 30% reduction in project expenses
• Created detailed Scope documents outlining project specifications and requirements
• Obtained approval for work requests, change requests, Corrective Action Plans (CAP), and Risk Exceptions (RE)
• Coordinated with the release management team to ensure smooth integration and deployment
• Participated in and enforced change control, including review and enforcement of Change Tickets (RFCs) and participation in Change Advisory Boards (CABs)
• Collaborated with the Governance team to ensure that remediation aligns with vulnerability assessment guidelines
• Reviewed and accepted completed user stories and acceptance criteria during sprint review meetings, ensuring timely management of tasks and milestones
• Identified and addressed potential roadblocks in consultation with the project sponsor and stakeholders
• Kept track of the work plan to monitor progress and ensure timely completion
• Monitored deliverables for any delays and highlighted issues to management
• Developed strategies to prioritize and expedite work if timelines were missed
• Resolved impediments for the team to prevent blockages and maintain workflow
• Planned and managed release milestones, ensuring readiness and smooth execution

• Developed products and managed SCRUM in agile methodology team
• Track burn down, issues, progress and other SDLC compliance activities through Jira
• Sizing and Planning Poker techniques as needed based on length of backlog and priorities
• Facilitated Scrum framework - sprint planning, backlog grooming, daily scrums, sprint reviews, and sprint retrospectives
• Planned Agile best practices and encouraged team cohesion, overcoming impediments and hurdles to productivity

• Execute test cases manually to verify that software functions as expected and meets specified requirement
• Conduct functional testing to validate that software's features and functionalities work correctly
• Perform regression testing to ensure that new code changes or updates do not introduce new defects or impact existing functionality
• Log and track defects using defect tracking tools, providing clear descriptions and steps to reproduce issues

• Analyze complex technical issues, perform root cause analysis, and suggest solutions to improve software quality
• Collaborate with developers to review code changes from quality perspective and ensure adherence to coding standard
• Maintain detailed documentation of test cases, test results, and testing processes for future reference
