As a Product Owner:

As the product owner, I managed Product Design, Product Development, end-to end Product ownership and client relationship for three of IQVIA's Big Data Factory products- Big Data Transfer (BDT), Data Acquisition Quality Engine (DAQE) and CLASP (Claim Level Akka Streaming Platform). I managed end-to-end product development & delivery (creating Roadmap, Sprint planning and managing backlogs) and associated Client management. Internal and External projects supported had cumulative revenue of around USD 200M, transacting 500- 650 millions of records a day, supporting even a broader revenue bracket for data analytics on Xponent, DDD, Rx and Dx Claims, patient mapping, clinical trials etc.

Big Data Transfer (BDT) is a highly available, secure, and fault tolerant data transfer tool with Restful API support. HDFS Streamer is an offering under the Big Data Transfer (BDT) component, which utilizes Metronome jobs to do point-to-point, fast, efficient, compressed BIG data transfer from any JDBC compliant source database to HDFS target. The data is landed in the target location in columnar and searchable. parquet or. avro format.

Data Acquisition Quality Engine (DAQE) is a Big Data Factory tool, which has been developed to solve data quality issue with data that needs to be delivered to the downstream systems, with pre-validation of data quality and the basic prerequisites. This tool checks and validates for Nullability, Data Type, Max length on column, Regular expression, Uniqueness, Expected Values Check (if record value is in a given set) and Duplicate record check.

Claim Level Akka Streaming Platform (CLASP) is a real-time, in-memory computing cluster designed to deliver complex patient cohorts on 20 terabytes of medical claims data. Formulizer is a sister application to CLASP and allows deeply nested Boolean logic to be applied to CLASP cohorts. Both systems are built with Scala, Akka, and Kafka.
