    Implemented a Systems Integration Strategy to simplify development and reduce costs. This strategy is based on SaaS to SaaS data integrations performed via Dell Boomi and heavy duty complex ETL via Talend. With both platforms implemented on a SaaS (cloud) and active / active multi-geo approach to comply with RingCentral’s 99.99 uptime SLA for back end internal services.Worked with a select group of Directors and VPs to create a new yearly review methodology proposal that was then presented to the executive team for approval. This proposal is how RingCentral executes yearly reviews now. Member of the continuous improvement for new hire onboarding and employe life cycle management.Standardization and data quality of terms and attributes cause a tremendous amount of rework and manual efforts. Implemented Master Data Management concepts and systems to drive data accuracy and standardization across systems and departments thus reducing overhead and complexities while improving delivery- Employee Master- Customer MasterAs the company grows, so is the proliferation of ad hoc solutions and shadow IT processes. Created an IT Enterprise Architecture practice to review redundancies and rationalize application growth. One key aspect of this practice is to understand how data flows across systems and to ensure new initiatives get properly vetted. Work with the HR, Operations and Finance organizations to Streamline HR processes such as the employee life cycle. Implemented several automations to track and reduce the time that takes to onboard a new employee from days to near real time. Starting with one developer and one admin, built a team of 23 members across Development, QA and Operations support across three geo-locations (US, China and The Philippines). - Operations support- Functional QA, SIT and supports UAT across all IT groups. - Development of integrations and complex ETL for various business units across the organization

    Intermediate Holding Company – Sr. Manager Of Bidm Development, Vp
    Bank Of The West – Bnp Paribas Group 2015 - Sep 2016
    Time to market delivery of break fix and business as usual requests became a challenge for the BIDM organization. Deployed a dedicated Dev OPS team while moving to agile methodologies and developing the appropriate tools and measuring KPI’s. This resulted on an increased productivity of 3 fold in the first 2 months.Implemented a standardized methodology for evaluating performance across two axis (Delivery and Potential). After collaborating with the group SVP, this method is now adopted by the entire BIDM organization.Standardized data replication from Bank of the West to the IHC parent company became fragmented and lacked standards as a result of work being federated to multiple workstreams. Architected a metadata driven standardized solution for all workstreams to integrate data on a secured, encrypted bidirectional way. Reducing delivery time from two weeks to under 8 hours of total effort.Responsible for managing 28 developers across multiple workstreams as well as dotted line managing a team of BSAs, Project Managers and Operations Support personnel.

  • Paypal, Inc.
    Sr Product Owner - Standards, Tools & Technologies
    Paypal, Inc. 2013 - 2014
    Data Replication at scale between petabyte BigData platforms in multiple geo-locations was a big problem at PayPal DT taking weeks and many development days effort per object. With a team of 7 engineers and a modest budget; Implemented a Data Replication framework that reduced latency to under 24 hours for first time objects and under 1 hour for incremental replication. Also reducing the need of engineering efforts returning an estimated 20 headcount capacity in the first 5 months since implementation. This capacity and the ability to enable critical Risk and Fraud Prevention models accounted for an estimated ROI in the millions over a year period.
  • Paypal, Inc.
    Sr. Manager Data Technology Infrastructure Engineering
    Paypal, Inc. 2011 - 2013
    Real Time fraud prevention models are big part of PayPal’s value added proposition. Integrating BigData mining and analysis from the Hadoop systems became a most have for PayPal to stay ahead on the fraud prevention area. With this need as a requirement, implemented an integration platform to move data logging (messaging data) near real time to a Hadoop platform for it to be mined at scale. This platform allowed for mined data to be moved back to the real time in memory databases (Terracota system).Enhanced merchant reporting and analytics replication environments from an 89% service level agreement (SLA) adherence to a continuous 99+% adherence by revamping ETL framework which allowed the company to offer new services and tools to merchants.TTM hindered by monthly releases and scalability affected by aging designs were two of the main problems affecting the payments processing engine. Acting on a role of Steward and advisor, architected and delivered the migration of C++ batch jobs to Informatica for the payments processing and financial reconciliation areas reducing execution time from hours to minutes and improving TTM to a more agile ad hoc schedule.PayPal has a strong 99.99% availability requirement for back end systems. The ETL infrastructure was continuously failing this KPI. With a team of 6 engineers and an appropriate budget; migrated PayPal’s ETL infrastructure from a multipoint of failure implementation to a full tolerant Informatica grid environment that spawns multiple data centers and security zones. This enabled the infrastructure to achieve a 99.99% uptime and deliver to other critical SLA metrics.Transformed a high-performing team into a stellar engineering group that set expectations for enterprise-wide Data Technology Engineering practices in the areas of BigData, BI, ETL and Integration.
  • Paypal, Inc.
    Sr. Manager Data Management Operations
    Paypal, Inc. 2007 - 2011
    As data usage and needs exploded, system capacity diminished and CPU consumption increased leading to unsatisfied business users and delayed SLA completion times. Managed and delivered Multimillion dollar expansions to PayPal's world-class Teradata data warehouse systems; expanding the infrastructure from 8 to 16 to 64 to 128 nodes enterprise class infrastructure adding the estimated capacity and storage to accommodate to the forecasted demand. Strategized the right infrastructure size, and negotiated multimillion dollar contracts with the vendor.Implemented PayPal’s first Hadoop system that paved the way to the creation of two other world class multi petabyte Hadoop implementations.The ETL infrastructure didn’t scale to the needs to analyze event data in near real time. To remove that impediment, implemented a GoldenGate data delivery integration between an Oracle rules based event engine and a Teradata 2600 appliance used in fraud prevention and Risk analytics models. This implementation allowed to move to a 1 minute interval data replication.TTM for Release Engineering was at a critical point were it took a minimum of 7 days to deploy workflows. Improved the delivery latency to 24 hour cycles by Establishing Change Control and Release Management practices and automation for the PayPal data warehouse infrastructure. Applied agile practices to Release Engineering thus enabling quick turnaround.Built a world class global operations systems from the ground up in Chennai, India introducing innovative managing and monitoring processes that were later adopted by other groups with in PayPal. Scaled this operation from to a well optimized twenty four member team providing 24x7 support on all platforms in four locations across the globe.Implemented Sarbanes Oxley (SOX) compliance controls in collaboration with Internal/External Audit.
