Automated Licensing updates - National Insurance Producer Registry(NIPR) :

- Spearheaded the design and implementation of an automated solution that significantly minimized manual processes, resulting in substantial cost savings for the client.

- Led the development of a comprehensive end-to-end system, encompassing data extraction from mainframe sources, secure transmission to the client API via a file transfer server, and seamless integration with vendor APIs for request-response handling.

- Deployed and hosted the .NET API on Microsoft Azure, collaborating closely with the Azure infrastructure team to provision necessary resources and ensure smooth downstream operations.

Legacy modernization project (Mainframe to Majesco DM) :

- Acted as the development lead for a legacy modernization project aimed at retiring the existing mainframe-based application and transitioning to a web-based platform provided by Majesco.

- Designed a solution to keep both systems running in parallel and ensure data stayed synchronized until the new system was fully stable.

- Set up a process to load agent data from Majesco: Majesco sends JSON files, Chubb IO maps the data and securely transfers it to the mainframe. The reverse process also allows data to flow from the mainframe back to Majesco.

- Technologies Used: Mainframe, Secure File Transfer Services

US Agency vesting:

- Served as the solution architect for a new business feature, delivering a complete end-to-end system design.

- The feature, called "Vesting," enables agent payments after termination. As part of the industry’s modernization efforts, the system uses the mainframe as the source of data, while shifting the calculation logic to a new web-based application.

- The new application includes an Angular-based front end, .NET APIs for data storage and processing, and logic to calculate payments. Final results are securely sent back to the legacy system to trigger agent payouts and generate letters.

- Technologies Used: .NET API, Azure, Mainframe, Angular, Data Lake
