Professional Experience

Project: IRIS Duration: Dec 13 to Till DateRole: Technical Lead Status: In Progress

Capital One Financial services has ambitious objective of unifying its Customer Care & Collection under single umbrella to ease out customer servicing and can focus more on bringing value added products utilizing this platform. Over 18 user interfaces (Care, Collections, back offices, Insurance, Loan origination & servicing etc) would be transformed into 3 segments – Agents, Self Served options & Risk/Fraud. This would necessiate a stronger core to be created to support these user interfaces. Whirl-end point services (WES) application would be an indigenous product servicing all these user interfaces. Architecture team would put up a robust and sustaineble framework utilizing In House Transactional Messaging service. Over 100 modules would be created and 300 modules would need to be optimized to support the new framework.

Project: Dispute Systems Duration: Jan 06 to June 06Role: Developer Status: Implemented

Dispute system replacement project is an End to End Migration of Business logic from an existing Dispute Management product to GUI Work-flow system, the existing Disputes Management subsytem for our Client, is to be rolled off , the void created to be filled by GUI and Back-end. But as the New product brings with it its own framework and other contingencies, the current interfaces had to be analysed for possible customizations and modifications required. As the front-end will be interacting with most of the other sub-systems through an MQ/GTM interface, the major structure for the Front-end to sit in, had to developed by the GTM team , which I was part of. As a part of this Initiative, I was one of the 5 member team in creating the Back-end system for Dispute system.

The Analysis phase, which we were actively part of, involved understanding the Old system , befoe embarking on creating the framework required for the new one. The final design required the Back-end to create all the Disputes files to be sent to Association ( Mastercard+Visa), based on the data sent by GUI. It would also serve as the channel through which Chordiant gets all its Account-level , Transaction-level and Authorisation level details for its decisioning process while extensively interacting with CMS, FAS & TRAMS/ITS.
