Software Engineer
With an engineering background I have joined the information technology services industry as a programmer in Java technologies
around 10 years back. Over the years, I have been involved in projects for organizations encompassing test automation , Product
Engineer and software development roles. I developed my core skills on various tools, technologies and platforms and developed
myself from a test automation developer to a developer and product engineer. On the project delivery side, I have successfully
resolved product issues within the stipulated SLA for many fortune 500 customers. I have specialized in working on requirements
backlog to flesh out stories that the team can work on in the future. As a developer I put extreme focus on quality of code in a
project and hence take extra effort in making code more readable , better performing. This comes from working in a development
environment with importance laid on tools like GitHub, Sonar,Codenarc etc .My responsibilities include working on requirements
refinement, feature and story breakdowns, designing features ,code reviews, coding of current items in the iteration and product
backlog as well as working on special customer requests and field calls regarding software issues. In a nutshell, I would like to
describe myself as an IT professional with comprehensive technical skill set (mainly Java,Flex,Groovy,Spring,Scala) and expertise in
quick product fixes for urgent situations, requirements analysis and work breakdown, estimation, workflow design, and
testing/quality assurance, software development, customer service, project management, leadership, estimating and vendor/client
relationships.
My vision is to contribute positively in client deliverables, building up technology competencies in organization through appropriate
strategies and technically guide the team to excel in the operations. These teams will focus mainly around applying technology to
provide value additions to the core business of their customer.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
1. Senior Software Engineer in R S Software working at Lexmark
Forms card is a firmware flash card that is attached to Lexmark devices and helps store various templates and intelligently
merges data that is sent to it with the appropriate stored template. The requirement was to cut down manual testing time and
hence I developed a test automation tool that communicates with a printer firmware via SNMP/UDP protocols and retrieves the
created checksums that correspond to a merged file and uses that for successive comparisons. It also makes sure no paper is
printed physically while the test runs. Thus saving paper and making test runs quicker. The results are then published to a
dashboard of the organization .
This tool was entirely designed and developed by myself in 3 months using core Java , Java Mail Api and Threads. We achieved a
80% efficiency improvement by managing to get almost the entire regression tests automated.
