Program Description: Application Rewrite and Migrate ETL code of multiple applications from Abinitio to Java-Spark for approximately 2800 jobs. The client wanted to avoid the higher licence cost of Ab initio and simplify system maintenance. I drove the end-to-end planning of the delivery at the granular level, identifying the interdependencies & lineages. I also defined the processes, roadmaps, right-sizing & scaling of teams to enable maximum productivity and fewer handovers.Resources with Java-Spark skillset & view of Ab initio was a major challenge, as both technologies are too distinct. However, with transparent & frequent comms with customers, strategic planning & robust Governance, I took a completely different route of execution and held to the costs, margins, and timelines.Result: I successfully achieved the objectives of the program. There was huge appreciation from customers, and an uplift in customer confidence resulted in new projects being awarded.

Leeds, England, United Kingdom

Program Description: Application Modernization & Migration from legacy to new policy administration system. The system had 1.2 million active insurance policies. This was a very critical program, highly Risky with regulatory bindings of timelines. I led the program from the initial four months of the POC phase and business requirements gathering to proposing a strategic roadmap for the phased migration of active policies over 12 months. I looked after multiple functions and systems to ensure downstream and upstream data feeds were mapped, transformed, and rerouted. It was a completely different revenue model, with ZCT (Zero Cost Transformation). However, with meticulous planning, effective scope management, vigilant monitoring, and untethered governance, I could defend the margins, scope creep & timelines.Result: I could complete the program within the regulated timelines despite the severe odds. Also, I decreased redundancy by 12%, saved 340 PDs of effort, and Optimized 3rd party engagements to reduce rework and align to test cycles.
