Svar-O-Matic helps consultants at Miles to quickly and efficiently describe how they can help customers in solving their problems. The solution utilizes AI prompt engineering to understand needs that the customers have and answers them by summarizing, transforming and inferring the experiences from consultant.- Discovering needs for the problem using Event Modeling- Design effective architecture for the solution- Design and document REST APIs using OpenAPI/Swagger- Implement APIs using C#/ASP.NET Core 8, data access with EF Core/PostgreSQL, document storage/retrieval using MinIO- Authentication of users using tokens from Entra ID/OAuth- Version control of code with git (in GitHub) and implemented Github Actions for CI/CD- Deployment and operation of application in Azure

The claims department in If Insurance has been trying to improve the claims handling process through numerous core systems. The architectural group for the division has been focussed on recommending a set of guidelines that would allow solutions to be interoperable, flexible and easy to automate. The foundation for this process is discovering and mapping various capabilities needed to handle claims. In addition, there is a need to modernize technical solutions and agility.- Remediate security issues with API solutions.- Provide guidance for capability mapping and service design.- Facilitate workshops such as data modeling, Event Modeling, Event Storming.- Design of data products following Data Mesh principles.- Product and architectural ownership of an event driven platform designed to facilitate microservices.- Documentation and Architectural Decision Records.

Waypoint is an insurance core system that allows handling of customer data, policy management, claims processing, accounting, pricing and dynamically defined products. The project began development in 2005 and was aimed at replacing the company's existing mainframe solutions.It started life as a monolithic application. However, in recent years, it has been refactored into smaller domain services and augmented with new microservices. The project had 12 - 15 domain teams, and the consultant worked with the Claims domain. The project uses numerous technologies, the predominant ones being .NET, React, SQL Server, events and REST APIs for integration.- Refactoring codebase to follow Domain Driven Design principles.- Cloud architecture, i.e. working with design, deployment (with IaC) and governance of services running on Azure.- Developed fullstack solution for claim handlers using ASP.NET Core, React and Azure Web App for Containers.- Architect Systems, definition of requirements and user stories for document management solution.

Developed existing Waypoint codebase to:- Create API endpoints and event handlers, and - Refactor claims related services out of the Waypoint monolith.Also developed additional functionalities with microservices in:- .NET core, - ASP.NET core APIs,- React, - Web Components,- Azure PaaS services, and - CI/CD YAML based pipelines in Azure DevOps.Worked in a team that had full ownership of the product lifecycle for all solutions, i.e. working with requirements, development, unit tests, infrastructure and support.

The Future Group develops solutions for producing mixed reality content, i.e. real-time composites of physical data (via video cameras) and virtual data (usually from some software).The project used Unreal Engine as the virtual content provider and several connectors for synchronizing data and a message log to record data.This project was aimed at improving the company's platform to make production of a TV show much more streamlined and cost effective.Developed a pub/sub message broker to simplify and standardize integration between components. All data for an event could be recorded, processed and replayed since everything was routed through this central broker. The broker was created in JavaScript, data was encoded using Google Protocol Buffers, messages were stored in Redis and pushed to a MongoDB store for long-term storage. The solution had high throughput requirements. Hence, tests were created to simulate data traffic and measure expected performance. Developed client packages for the message broker in python, C++, C#, JavaScript and Go.Also worked on modeling events and data for shows, and on creating REST APIs (developed in Go, deployed on AWS) to provide backend functionality for mobile apps for the next version of Lost in Time show.Developed gameplay logic for virtual content for the show Lost in Time, along with games for the show’s mobile app. Both of these were developed using the Unreal Engine in C++.Setup version control (Perforce) and CI processes (Jenkins and Incredibuild) for the project.

Heroes & Generals is a free-to-play MMO game. The game had several types of frontends that communicated with the backend to execute player actions, such as login, matchmaking, statistics, leaderboards, calculations, transactions, handling game results, etc. Any changes to the game state are then saved to a PostgreSQL database.Some of the tasks I've been involved on the project are:- Developed game’s backend features by developing API endpoints in C#.- Developed a caching layer for the game’s in-memory database to simplify transaction commits.- Developed scripts in Python for data engineering of the game’s static data.- Managed PostgreSQL database including migration, backup, restore, performance optimisation and bug fixing.

This role involved providing one on one support to students of the games line at the University. I assisted in two courses:- Game Design (Fall 2010) - I acted as producer in student game projects – setting up milestones, pointing out workflow flaws and feature priorities- Game Development (Spring 2011) - I held two part lecture series titled “Introduction to Unreal Engine” and provided individual advice regarding the Unreal Engine during student’s project development

I'm working as a programmer on game projects at the company. Can't say much, but it involves a AAA game engine and awesome people. Excited.

Paintbox aims to create stunning visual graphics for print, motion design and VFX from a market that has traditionally not been known for highest quality in the VFX industry. Along the way, their work has been awarded and appreciated at various forums.- Worked to establish brand vision.- Securing funding for the project.- Established workplace and operational setup.- Hired employees for the company.- Marketing, sales and managing finances.- Research and development of interactive graphics solutions such as Actionscript, XNA, TorqueX, Unreal Engine 3.

Ernst & Young needed detailed information about prospective clients for regulatory reasons. To achieve this a platform was built to define questionnaires, collect answers and trigger respective business processes depending on the answers.- Developed processing and importing of questions from Sharepoint to SQL Server.- Developed ASP.NET solution to display questions, validate and save answers.- Improved web application’s responsiveness by adopting AJAX.NET
