I joined YASU Technology, a product-centric startup specializing in the Business Rules domain, which was eventually acquired by SAP Labs.As a Senior Developer, I focused on the .NET stack for the Rules Management System, particularly the Rules Repository. This component had a distributed architecture and included essential features such as versioning and access control. I also contributed significantly to the development of other core components, including the Rules Editor and Web Editor.This role offered me extensive experience across the full product lifecycle, including direct customer engagement and close collaboration with the Pre-Sales team.

As a Software Developer I was responsible for doing coding on UI as well as business layer on the assigned module along with writing unit tests and bug fixing.
