Summary: Recruited as a Project Manager, worked in the Auto domain (US, China & Indian customers) managing a productized service called Prelaunch service, which generates vehicle mix recommendations for new cars that are launched into the market. Detail: Automobile manufacturers find it very hard to guage the market demand for the vehicle mix of the new car to be launched in the market. i.e. they do not have scientific methods of deriving the vehicle trim mix (proportion of high-end models vs low-end models, features desired in a vehicle by trim, colors by trim, etc). Trilogy's Prelaunch service guages the market demand and helps manufacturers to stock the correct inventory with dealers so that customers get to purchase the vehicle they want immediately.The solution involved in building a vehicle website (in short period of 2 weeks using a templated approach), showcasing it to the world, driving traffic to the website when necessary (using google ads, advertising on prominent websites, incentivising site-visitors, etc), analyzing the visitor behavior on the vehicle website for thousands of visitors (data mining, analysis, & reporting), and thus extrapolating visitor behavior on the website into real-world demand for the new vehicles. The framework to build these websites were Java/J2EE-based, and used a webserver, DB, JSPs, Servlets & AJAX technology.

I am the Delivery Program Manager, responsible for all delivery aspects of a business unit (BU). The BU has a suite of 4 enterprise products in the investment/planning/control domain that is used globally and brings in revenues of $40 mil per annum. Work involves enhancing these products, building in new features, fixing defects, making performance improvements, and making timely releases world-wide (involving internationalization and localization dimensions as well). I deliver with teams - both physical and virtual (spread over 3-5 countries), and 40+ in number, using an outsourcing model; i.e. we outsource work to organizations in India, China, Ukraine, etc. In this capacity, I perform all typical functions of program management, some of them being stakeholder management, scope/time/cost/risk/vendor management, mentoring and appraising employees, quality assurance & process improvements, and contributing towards growing an effective organizational culture.The products were build on different platforms, some of them being java-based and are web-based, while others were based on a client-server model, using disparate technologies like C++, Java, .NET, Centura, Delphi, VB, etc. The products worked with application servers like Websphere, Weblogic, Tomcat, and databases like Oracle and SQL server.

Project 1 Summary - I was the Delivery Project Manager, responsible to build & maintain multiple web applications for a major Insurance company in the USA.

I managed the building of these web applications from inception, and doubled up as the SME / Business Analyst as well. Once the applications were built, we maintained the applications by fixing defects, migrating to newer versions of the software stack, and also enhancing or building new features based on customer needs.Work involved all elements of project management like customer and stakeholder management, scope/time/cost/quality/risk management, employee mentoring and appraisals, etc and also elements of business analysis like requirements gathering from the client onsite, analyzing, documenting & finalizing them using a prototyping model, transitioning the SME to the technical team, and delivering using a RAD model (Rapid Application Development). We used CMMi Level 5 based quality processes for Delivery.The solution was built on Java/J2EE platform, using application server, database, JSPs/Servlets/EJBs/Struts framework & Hibernate.Project 2 Summary - I was the delivery project manager for a web solution built for the US Department of Defence, which quantitatively mapped the open positions in the client organization to the employees available and staffed the positions accordingly.
