Notable projects done:

Transfer Simplification project:

Worked on transfer simplification project which brings in all kinds of transfers and payments under one umbrella. This involved settlement of amounts between customer accounts, internal bank accounts and other institution bank accounts. Played a significant role from requirement phase, design, build, testing and implementation phases. Worked in building complex logics required for flawless soft posting and hard posting.

Auto Pay Add Project:

Worked on automating the addition of pay from accounts in a customer's pay from account list. If an existing bank customer wants to add his second newly added account to his pay from list, he needs to call up the customer care to add the newly added account to his pay from list. Had proposed an optimized solution to automatically add his account to his pay from list which decreased the number of calls made to customer care to add the account manually. This was a value add proposed to the bank. Had got client appreciation for the same.

Disbursement Project:

Worked on a project which provides facilities to the Giant clients like Government and big businesses to credit amounts to the bulk number of consumers in one-go.

Remediation Project:

Worked on a project which creates and backs up the input data to be used by parallel regions of a system. In-case of failover in one of the regions, input can be migrated from others and the process can flow with minimal time delay.

Safe Balance Project:

Worked right from requirement phase, design phase, build phase, testing and support phase.

Data Remediation Project:

The project also involves synchronizing the data between the SOR, intermediate bank database & the third party Vendor for the Biller Direct and Bill pay services.

Collections Simplification Project:

Worked on this project which involves the initiation of fund transfers to different kinds of accounts from Contact center and banking center. Worked on this project right from design phase in gathering the requirements, assumptions, coding complicated settlement modules, unit testing, integration testing, install phase and support phase correlating with the other interfacing systems.
