Since moving to Australia, I had focused on the Claims product research and development for the APAC market. Apart from continually delivering core product features, I led a development team working on local customer projects' discovery, operations, and maintenance. As a design authority of the core products, I regularly performed design reviews and code reviews of features being added by other members of the development team, worked closely with the pre-sales team to understand the market based on prospects’ request for proposals and get involved into sales demos articulating the product design and proposing potential solutions. Other things that do not fall under the major roles and responsibilities include DevOps, customer support, hiring, mentoring, and helping transform company’s global strategies into processes.Achievements:• Increased the Melbourne development team’s productivity on coding and knowledge crunching by introducing “code reading” sessions.• Drafted the localization coding guidelines for development teams globally while doing the first 20% of the product’s internationalization work.• Led a team of 7 people working on the company’s Claims product for a customer that is one of the Australian top 3 life insurance companies.• Was the main author in a team of three people building a mobile App in 2 weeks on top of the Salesforce Communities for the purpose of a demo specifically designed for a prospect.• Advocated and led the incremental refactoring to one of the most complex payments modules to reduce technical debts and increased the team velocity on adding new features.• Led the Melbourne team to implement a Claims solution for a customer from discovery to go-live in two months, at the record speed globally within the company.
