Accomplishments

  • Lead team for successful split of application for two different entities due to de-merger. Both entities formally use the same set of applications under one portal. Post de-merger both entities have different data sets and processes to follow in tool. As application architect, I ensured post splitting no impact to business and end users. This involves architecture design, procurement of necessary hardware, coordination with local and global IT teams for smooth transition and ensuring seamless integration with third party applications for respective entities.
  • Successfully led the consolidation of 35+ servers to 18 servers which helped in saving approx. 38% of maintenance and operational cost. It also helps in improvising the performance of some of the applications by more than 40%.
  • Bestowed with the SPOT Award recognition for the semi-automating process from CIO in 2020 which helps in saving 97% efforts in server hardening from 3 days efforts to 30 minutes per server.
  • Successfully identified & assisted in the recovery of GST Tax Credit of approx. Euro 800k over 2 years period credited for minimizing gaps/leakages in the system by proposing & implementing appropriate changes in tool and process flow.
