Leadership & Mentorship

• Led cross-functional teams to architect and deliver the SFDC Integration (A.2) and NTB to ETB handling features, ensuring a successful production go-live by managing the full development lifecycle.
• Mentored junior consultants through pair programming and consistent code reviews, fostering a culture of technical excellence and increasing team alignment on coding standards.
• Acted as the Subject Matter Expert (SME) for SFDC and platform-level features, unblocking multiple product teams—including Working Capital—to accelerate their development timelines across the account.

Strategic Problem Solving & Analysis

• Analyzed complex system requirements to migrate over 800 data fields and associated documentation from the Maximus platform to Salesforce, resolving ambiguities in external vendor APIs to ensure data integrity.
• Mitigated significant business losses by conducting Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and developing a STPD handling feature, which reduced a critical customer drop-off rate of 20% by successfully capturing 25% of previously declined loan cases.

Stakeholder Alignment & Agile Efficiency

• Collaborated with stakeholders and Product Owners to align technical delivery with business goals, notably leading a 3-day onsite workshop in Mumbai that accelerated project clarity and saved an estimated 2 weeks of development time compared to remote coordination.
• Streamlined team processes by leading Agile ceremonies, including Retrospectives and IPMs, where I utilized end-to-end system knowledge to provide accurate effort estimations and refine sprint planning.
• Facilitated Knowledge Transfer (KT) sessions across teams, detailing the technical architecture and business logic of the SFDC integration to ensure long-term maintainability and cross-team proficiency.

Operational Risk & Innovation

• Safeguarded project success by proactively managing production support and writing MongoDB scripts as interim fixes, ensuring operational continuity during critical delivery phases.
• Drove organizational growth by evaluating candidate potential as a Technical Interviewer, contributing to the strength of the company’s talent pool.
