Work Experience

Lowes, Bangalore Mar 2020 - Present

Senior Architect
• Worked as a Senior Architect
• MyRedVest – Designed and developed a modern platform using open-source technology to replace legacy Contact
Center Associate experience platform. My Red Vest platform stands as Lowe's dream project. Contact center associates
previously had to navigate different applications for various tasks such as placing orders, checkout, tendering, and order
modifications. Recognizing the challenge of using multiple applications, I made the decision to consolidate all these
functions under one umbrella and transform it from a legacy to a modernized application. Now, contact center associates
experience a seamless digital journey within a single platform. They can log in, browse the store, explore items on behalf
of customers, add items to the cart, proceed with checkout, complete the payment process, and ultimately place the order.
Furthermore, using the same application, they have the ability to edit orders
• Case Management Web Portal –Designed and developed a modern platform using open-source technology to replace
legacy Siebel platform. Our organization has planned to transition from Siebel to the Sales Force application for case
management. With over 4,500 contact center associates overseeing the case management life cycle, the provision of one
Salesforce license per associate is a costly endeavor. Therefore, I've decided to develop a custom application. This
application will enable contact center associates to efficiently manage cases, and updates made will seamlessly integrate
with the Sales Force system.
• Connect Platform- Designed and developed a modern platform using open-source technology to replace legacy
communication platform. The legacy application utilized the Xpression template engine, running on the WebSphere
Application Server. However, this configuration struggled to handle more than 1 million requests per day. Consequently,
every Black Friday, we encountered issues in message processing. To address this challenge, I made the decision to
modernize the entire application using the latest stack of technologies. I opted for a Spring Boot microservice architecture,
integrated with the Freemarker template engine, and hosted the entire setup on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
Following this solution, I conducted certification testing for a 10X load capacity. As a result, the application is now capable
of withstanding more than 10 million requests per day.

TESCO HSC, Bangalore Jul 2013 – Nov 2017

Technical Architect
• On the current platform, sellers carry out website activities such as product merchandising and order management via an
FTP framework. This framework processes file updates between third parties and the GMO systems. However, this
solution had numerous instability issues, was exceptionally complex for third-party integration, and was not suitable for
scaling the business as predicted in the next few years.
• The 'Merchant Hub' was designed to support small to medium sellers that did not have the capability to automate through
APIs. The Hub provided sellers with access to a collection of services, allowing them to easily conduct various activities on
the GMO platform. Additionally, it gave internal Tesco teams improved visibility and control over third-party trading on the
website.
• While the immediate purpose of the Merchant Hub was to facilitate seller trading on GMO, the solution was considered
strategic. Future capabilities may be used to enhance trading within Tesco in different areas, such as supply chain
management of Tesco 'Stocked In' goods, and roll out to the wider Tesco Dotcom landscape.

Client: Citi Project: CITI Olympia
• The Mantas product is being used to create alerts for the suspicious activities in Citigroup. Quick Screens application is
currently being used by the investigators to work on the cases generated from these alerts, appropriately escalate and
report any suspicious activities. Citigroup has now decided to replace Quick Screens with the Actimize Risk Case Manager
(RCM) to investigate and manage these cases.
• Actimize code will pull the alert information from the Mantas database and enrich them with the additional information on
customer and account details. These alerts will be aggregated into a CASE based on the Focus Type and the Business
unit of the alerts. The investigators will follow the workflow as defined by the business to investigate and appropriately
escalate or close the cases.
• Besides Mantas ingested alerts, new cases can be created via manual action on the Actimize RCM, Bulk Upload from a
pre-defined Excel format or via import from another system (VTL forms). Also Additional Information Request (AIR) will act
like a manual alert in the system that can be linked to a case.
• Actimize will maintain the audit log for all the activities on cases and users will be given appropriate permissions to perform
various activities on these cases via Actimize RCM
