Worked as lead AWS consultant to help the technical team at Experian architect, prototype, develop, and deliver a next-generation technology platform that was used as a foundation to build a micro-services-based system hosted in a hybrid cloud environment to run their digital e-commerce platform to replace the legacy system. The new platform allowed secure, agile, flexible, and scalable service delivery by independent teams with a clear roadmap and a rich body of knowledge utilizing proven but recent methodologies and technologies. Leveraged AWS Well-Architected framework guidelines and best practices have been followed to implement the most secure, high-performing, resilient, and efficient infrastructure.

• Micro-services-based architecture has been used to develop a platform-agnostic system.

• 80+ microservices were implemented using a domain-driven design using container technologies and hosted on AWS ECS.

• AWS Well-Architected framework guidelines and best practices have been followed to implement the most secure, high-performing, resilient, and efficient infrastructure.

• Implemented core libraries like encryption using HSM (Hardware Security Module), logging using log4net, pub-sub using SQS/SNS, notifications, etc., to eliminate repetitive, time-consuming, and labor-intensive work.

• Each Micro-service has its own code repository and deployment pipeline. It allows teams to work autonomously without depending on another service's deployment.

• The latest .Net Core and ASP.Net Core versions have been used to run micro-services on Linux EC2 instances under AWS ECS.

• A set of core libraries has been developed to interface with various AWS services. This allows each service to follow the same pattern and developers to focus on that service's specific business logic.

• For development base templates/generators have been provided to kick start micro-service development in .NET

• Continuous Integration and deployment are implemented by integrating and automating builds using GitHub and Jenkins/Travis CI for incremental deployments and frequent releases.

• Auto-scaling and load balancing have been used to spin various AWS resources on demand, reducing costs without compromising performance.

• Tools & Technologies: Visual Studio, .Net Core, Asp.Net Core, Node.js, Docker, AWS (EC2, ECS, Kinesis, DynamoDB, S3, Glacier, SNS, SQS, Redis, Lambda, CloudFront, Route 53, EMR, etc.), Jenkins, GitHub Enterprise, Hadoop Streaming, Linux, BlazeMeter, Nginx, Git, Confluence, JIRA, HSM(SafeNet)

Implemented tools to migrate data and documents (PDFs, DOCs, XLSs, JPEGs, etc.) from the legacy product OfficeMate and import them to cloud-based applications hosted on AWS, adhering to HIPAA standards.

• The tools offer modern and user-friendly UI to the end user to validate & export data as well as

• documents effortlessly.

• Scalable & plug-and-play architecture used so that the same framework & UI can be utilized to implement future conversion tools for different legacy products and minimize future development & maintenance efforts.

• The same UI framework has been used across all the tools to reduce the learning curve for the development team, the help desk, and the end user.

• Efforts have been taken to simplify UI and functionality to reduce the number of calls from the end user to the help desk.

• Adhere to HIPPA requirements.

• Displays all items with failed validation with enough details to help the user fix data anomalies.

• The Pause & Resume option allows the user to finish the entire process in parts.

• Efforts have been taken to gracefully recover from failure instead of forcing the user to start over again.

• Performance optimization to transmit large amounts of encrypted documents to the Amazon S3 storage.

• Performance optimization to finish exporting a high volume of PHI data in less than an hour, speeding up the conversions of thousands of clients.

• Dependency injections used to provide the flexibility to switch between various ORMs, such as Dapper, NHibernate, and EntityFramework, and file transmission protocols, such as SFTP, FTPS, and Amazon S3.

• Use of MahApps.Metro and WPF give the UI of Windows 8 metro apps a Metro-like look.

• Use ClickOnce deployment technology for effortless deployment and upgrade thousands of client machines.

• Analyzed, designed, and developed an intranet-based website for searching items based on various criteria. It displays a list of items matched with the criterion. The user can drill down to see sales history, inventory, spoil history, order history, and manuals/production information provided by the original vendor.

• Performance was the critical factor because it is used extensively by the store and warehouse employees daily.

• Technologies used: C#, Asp.Net MVC, jQuery, jQuery UI, Ajax, JSON, REST, Entity Framework, LINQ

Worked as a lead architect to analyze, design, and develop a cloud-based smart client application to allow end-users to work from anywhere without compromising the desktop experience. Designed and developed core architectural components like locking service, data refresh service, caching service, validation service, audit log service, security, help, and logging service that can serve as a foundation for multiple products.

• Designed and developed core architectural components, such as locking service, data refresh service, caching service, validation service, audit log service, security, help, and logging service, that can serve as a base for multiple products.

• Designed and customized UI controls that can be utilized to develop highly complex data entry forms required by the Medicare domain.

• Designed and developed base data entry forms that can be utilized as a template to speed up the development process.

• Designed and developed base view models to support CRUD operations and search and filter functionalities in master/browser forms.

• Re-designed legacy database to utilize RDBS features offered by SQL Azure & Entity Framework.

• He converted complex data entry paper forms required to be filled by field nurse staff into simple and easy-to-use data entry screens using UX design principles to reduce customer support calls.

• Optimized database, entity model, and LINQ queries to improve performance when interacting with SQL Azure on low-bandwidth Internet.

• Prepared early prototypes to identify performance issues with third-party controls and prove the functionality of all architectural components.

• Designed and implemented a customized validation system to meet the complex nature of the healthcare domain.
