As a Technology Consultant at Inspira, India, I manage and administer WebSphere Application Server environments for the FMS project at the Department of Information Technology, Government of Rajasthan. Based at the Jaipur Data Centre, I ensure high availability, optimal performance, and security compliance of WebSphere-based applications. My role involves deployment, configuration, troubleshooting, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to streamline operations. Additionally, I provide technical expertise and support to maintain system reliability and adherence to government IT standards.

Key Accomplishments

• Successfully migrated all production applications from Yojana Bhawan Data Centre to BSDC.

• Actively contributed to the migration of applications to the Disaster Recovery (DR) environment.

• Assisted application development teams in identifying and resolving security vulnerabilities, preparing reports for external audits.

• Automated daily health checks using Bash and Python scripting to improve efficiency and system monitoring.

• Achieved external certification for IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS).

• Configured and optimized monitoring tools such as Grafana and IBM Tivoli Performance Monitor to enhance system observability.

As a technical writer, I have authored multiple articles on Linux for Baeldung, focusing on system administration, shell scripting, and troubleshooting. My work involves researching complex topics, simplifying technical concepts, and creating detailed, well-structured content to help developers and system administrators enhance their Linux skills. Through my writing, I aimed at providing practical insights and hands-on guidance for effectively managing Linux environments.

As incharge of Non-Prod support team and lead members from Poland and India, my job role was to manage service onboarding and to implement/enhance features, for CEEMEA and NAM region banking and financial services domain applications (numbering close to 200), that want to utilize Flexcube Core banking application setup. I took care of both batch and online mode of its operation and manage the ETL processes of its Global Application Interface Layer Program, named as Flexibus which provides service layer for Flexcube, live in 70+ countries. The architectural components include Ab initio batch jobs and online services

deployed on Websphere/ Weblogic.

Key Accomplishments:

• Partnered with vendor team from Cognizant and TCS to deliver “Intraday Transaction Record” postings to Flexcube via Flexibus (Ab initio) for one KYC, Genesis, Citiswitch, GFS, GBS, SEBILL, SECORE, ASPEN, GCE, Notional Pooling, Funds earmarking project in the Great Britain Corporate Banking Branch as part of EOD/ EOM/ EOY , for CEEMEA region.
• Proposed Change control techniques for this new UAT and SIT implementation, inline with organization's project management and governance standards.
• Managed connectivity testing for 180 partner systems as part of implementation of Flexibus AIX to Linux Migration. This project reduced the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for each server by 70%.
• Tested and fixed several bugs in the Self-Service Reporting (SSR) application used for automated report generation by our operations team while working as Dev tech. Analyst in the Core Banking team within Trade and Treasury Services division.
• Lead end to end implementation of project VAM (Virtual Account Management). The aim was migration of customer records from older flexcube 4.0 version to the new flexcube 12 version as part of End of Day cycle. The effort was aimed at providing greater flexibility from system availability perspective and providing a choice between batch and online mode of processing. The project scope comprised of customer account records of NAM region. The project’s PMO ROI was estimated at 90%.
• Leveraged Abinitio's DML, BRE and ACE together to design and implement solution to recurring DB connectivity problem of more than 50 branches of CEEMEA region countries. The solution, which reduced overall TAT , was then integrated into autosys to facilitate retrieving connection status as well as feeds delivery status.
• Managed procurement of new MS PKI/ Versign/ Entrust certs and configured SSL IBM Websphere. This is to ensure that user credentials are automatically passed to Flexcube to facilitate both soap over http and JMS connectivity.
• Automated and implemented health check using Geneos ITRS to capture Websphere/Weblogic application status, MQ Daemons and DB jobs. The effort ensured right attention and quick response to failures.
• Obtained accolades and recognition awards from peers, partners and organization.
• Conducted extensive research on licensed RPA tools and mentored implementation of Automation Anywhere. Proposed its use as a re-engineering effort to improve the team’s operational efficiency.

Under Tier 2 and Tier 3 support, as an analyst, acted as the in charge of telecom applications. The Apps involved were Granite, E-PAD (deployed on apache tomcat), PED, BCAT (deployed on WAS 8.0) and OMS (GUT

script).

Key Accomplishments:

• Partnered with team from Infosys for AT&T account, managed SLAs, Automation and Operational Environment set up for Granite, E-PAD (deployed on apache tomcat), PED, BCAT (deployed on WAS 8.0), NAM and OMS (GUT script).
• Developed scripting tool to deploy EAR/WAR files and define new Qs/QCFs and JMS providers onto Websphere application server using python and wasadmin.
• Developed bounce menu, for daily maintenance tasks, using ksh.
• Developed alerting through tools using ksh to report issues when server running on low memory, file system capacity reaches threshold, errors/exceptions in server logs, process failed to generate specific no. of feeds upon completion, hung threads, server swap space reaches threshold, tablespace usage reaches threshold limit, Oracle listener is down, invalid database objects, clean up old logs before log destination reaches capacity. The effort ensured right attention and quick response to failures with proper RC.
• Implemented Jenkins at WAS level for managing continuous integration builds and delivery pipelines. It improved overall deployment rates, defect detection, and feature delivery.
• Obtained recognition awards from client, partners and organization.
