Guidewire 9 UpgradeSupported the use of the Guidewire7 Insurance suite applications and migrated to Guidewire9 a couple of years ago, a major project which took more than a year to upgrade. Assisted with this quite challenging project as the ATLAS data model was heavily customized. GEICO upgraded to Guidewire 7 to 9, a huge effort considering the time and effort it took. Encountered main challenges including a data model and UI limitations.• Ran the DBCC checks and fixed the possible DBCC issues identified during the upgrade.• Oversaw significant changes from GW7 to GW9 in terms of PCF elements, removing the deprecated properties and modified the PCFs to use the new properties.• Revamped the configuration and integration modules in the Policy Center /Claim Center application Data model, User Interface, Business Rules, and Integration layers.• Revised the Database triggers to remove unused Entities, columns, and Type lists.• Identified the deprecated APIs and modified them to use the latest APIs introduced in Guidewire9.• Utilized java classes to administer GW7 and ATLAS that was created and sent the payloads to the external applications. Created new GXModels to generate the payloads with GW9.• Integrated the Guidewire studio with the Sonar server to improve the code quality, providing a feature that checked the code quality in the studio itself.• Delivered results as a code merge coordinator for various branches.• Enhanced various expensive value expressions and queries to improve performance.• Delegated the tasks among the team members and estimated the effort required to configure the software.

Maintenance and EnhancementExecuted as a Guidewire Developer on the Policy and Claim Center Maintenance and Enhancement projects. Oversaw a team that managed various aspects of the Guidewire application, including handling production support issues.• Worked on the configuration modules in the Guidewire Claim Center application, covering various business rules, data model changes, user interface customizations, and integration layers.• Developed various configuration functionalities using appropriate pages, popups, screens, detail views, list views, and input sets.• Collaborated closely with the data model team in adding new fields to existing entities, creating new entities, and modifying type lists as per project requirements.• Enhanced various entities by adding new methods and functionality as needed, as well as creating utility classes for common use across projects.• Participated in all stages of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), focusing on design and code development phases.• Supported technical meetings with clients on design and process workflows, ensuring alignment with project goals.• Wrote business logic using GOSU and GOSU Queries, optimizing application performance and user experience.• Revised policy creation and policy change processes, implementing business rules and logic during the policy lifecycle.• Utilized Post on Change, On Change, and Reflection techniques to ensure optimal application functionality.• Customized the Claim Center user interface according to project requirements, improving user experience and data capture.• Conducted unit testing of requirements before submitting them for testing verification, ensuring high-quality deliverables.• Debugged and fixed reported issues promptly, maintaining system stability and performance.• Served as a member of the Production Support team, handling production-related issues and collaborating with offshore teams to address concerns.

Mechanical Breakdown InsuranceSupported the Mechanical Breakdown Insurance, a coverage that offered policyholders protection for problems not typically handled by their auto insurance. GEICO’s MBI application was to replace the legacy Motor Club Services (MCS) from the Mainframes to the ATLAS with a GEICO Claim Center by providing modernization with low costs while integrating with other systems with ease while achieving reliability and Scalability. Oversaw the conversion effort from the legacy Database (DB) to the modern DB, a challenging limitation we have with the SQL DB. Created this project as Hugh's upgrade by reducing the cost of the maintenance and increasing the UI reliability with a much better way of handling the data.• Discussed requirements with the business analyst and lead.• Discussed round-up meetings with Mechanical Breakdown- Insurance vendors to understand the business and technical / functional flow of the system.• Prepared technical and functional design documents.• Developed PCFs like Detail Views, List Views, and Card Views for Screen designing.• Created new activity patterns for custom functionality.• Involved Conversation and mapped the fields from the MCS to the ATLAS database.• Spearheaded Unit Test case preparation.• Supported production issues related to performance defects.• Trained and experienced in Agile.• Conducted a daily scrum meeting with the lead and team.• Provided timely status reporting to a manager.• Wrote Hugh DB Queries, Gunits.• Developed business rules and performed event handling in GScript using Guidewire Studio.• Made changes to move the code PCF level to the GOSU code.

Aligned NBIC with the Pipeline Claims to empower claims professionals by minimizing the time they spend on non-value-added tasks, instead allowing them to focus on the critical decisions required to efficiently and effectively manage claims. Pipeline Claims is built to provide a simple, intuitive tool for the claim professional, it can be customized to meet the complex needs of claim operation. The Pipeline Claims architecture is intended to provide a solid foundation for the development of business functionality while supporting operational and qualitative requirements.It is intended to serve claims unit members, third-party administrators, insurance agents, and vendor representatives when processing claims. The central aim is to unify the several, disparate sources of information related to claims handling—paper forms, witness statements, vendor invoices, policy information, and business information systems—within a system that provides a secure and flexible application portal, configurable workflows, and customizable business rules based on the business process.• Configured and integrated an open-source tool called Yahoo UI Editor.• Developed Screens, Business Logic, and Data Base as per client requirements.• Carried out all required validations.• Involved in Code review and Bug fixing, • Developed the Application using Strut Framework.• Wrote the stored procedures in PL / SQL.• Involved in Maintenance / Enhancements Activities.• Based on the batch process on Client requirements.• Interacted with Clients for Business Rules.• Involved in application Integration.• Involved in writing unit test cases for different modules using the JUnit Framework.
