2024: Guidewire, Java.- As the Rate Engine guru, I am occupied within Guidewire Rating Management.- Set to attain 'Ace' on Dec 11.2022 - 2023: SQL (T-SQL/SQL Server), HTML, CSS, JavaScript (React/NodeJS), Java (Spring Boot).Highlights:- Leading a team of 6 engineers to re-write a legacy web application as a full-stack web application using React (Front-End), Spring Boot (Back-End) and SQL Server (Relational Database).- After being awed by my robust Python Rate Engine, my superiors task me with a 2nd translation - Python to Java. Grasping the distinctions between the 2 languages, I utilize Java's object-oriented paradigm to devise a simple solution for caching - static variables! Where the gain in performance was only 2x with Python (from legacy), the gain in performance from Python to Java is over 10x! The Java Rate Engine is served as a Spring Boot REST API. Rating a policy is now as fast as 20 ms!- Prior to this I had mentored engineers on isolated occasions, but during this project I do so in a dedicated and organized fashion. Over the run, I collaborate with a total of 4 non-technical Product Owners by offering technical guidance and maintaining the Product and Sprint backlogs.2018 - 2021: Python.Highlights:- Utilize Selenium to build a framework for automating the testing of our insurance web application. This is brag-worthy because this framework, created single-handedly by me, replaces a long-existing framework developed by a team dedicated to test automation. For me, this is a side project about automation because the computer was invented to elevate us above boredom.- Utilize pre-processing ('pandas' library to read rates from CSV -> 'pickle' library to serialize Python objects) and caching (basic, built-in LRU cache) to completely re-write the company's Rating engine, doubling its performance. This is brag-worthy because being trusted solely with a $2B insurance company's premium calculations as a 23-year old requires incredible credibility.

Operate within the Business Intelligence department.Main objective - implement a forecasting tool as a GUI application in Python and tkinter; app binds to a SQL Server database.Utilize the library 'pandas' to manipulate tabular data in-memory, 'sqlalchemy' to persist to the database.Version control achieved through Team Foundation Server (now Azure Repos).Daily coffee chat with my supervisor, who doubled as a BA, where we discuss in this order - what was done yesterday, what will be done today, and the hurdles that hinder my progress. We are unknowingly Agile.Fortunately or unfortunately, luck is a determinant of success. Eventually through a recruiter on LinkedIn I transition to being a fully-fledged software engineer at my next company, Allstate. As I am disinterested in management, schooling is now futile, so I abandon my training to practice.Aside (read for culture):When I was 12 years old and a high school student in Mauritius then the motto under the school's emblem read "Vitae Non Scholae Discendum", Latin for "Learn for life, and not for school". Ironically, I suppose my attention is on the alternate interpretation. And so I do, to this day.Let life be my adventure, and I the crafter of. Amen.
