Card system application Project Objective: This project will provide for existing card products (Platinum, Premier and Business Debit) to be migrated on to new BIN (Bank Identification Number) and for the main Connect products to be issued on a second pair of BINs. This is required because the Connect debit BINs (453978/9) will run out of cardholder sequence numbers by 3Q 2006.This development will deliver a cost effective flexible solution to enable the bank to introduce new card products with the only requirement being to amend reference data. Project Description: The new BINs project is intended to deliver the capability to issue Debit and ATM cards on additional BINs to the current 6 BINs used.This will relieve capacity issues with the existing Debit card BINs, and provide product flexibility for the future.Where possible existing hard coded BIN processing will be replaced with Reference Data driven processing.•Worked as a project leader and SME - Analyzing and fixing bugs reported by demanding customers like VISA and Barclay card.•Provide Technical assistance to junior programmers and track the progress of their work as technical lead.•Analysis, Design, Review, Testing and acceptance of deliveries •Team management, work allocation, Reporting, Metric collection and Data analysis and presentation to senior management •Planning of deliveries, estimation, tracking and reporting, client management, Verification, validation and approval of deliverables
