The project, where I have been working for the past 4 years, consists of a multi-modular Insurance
Application for a major Business Insurance Provider in the United States, that looks after all Member,
Enrolment, the Claims Management Process for the actual Insurance Providers. It is quite a complex
external and internal applications, with several different layers, modules, web applications and services. I
am mainly responsible for production maintenance tickets and new features and project include the
environment configuration, setup, release management process, development deployment, testing,
automation testing, unit testing, database development and delivery. I have developed new features and
enhanced existing features related with Dependent Access, Multitier Benefits etc, in external Web site
and internal applications. As part of this project I was updating front end pages, changing HTML CSSS,
java script, updating 5 layers of WCF Services that would implement business logic and calculations in
C#, update SQL store procedure at the database layer, update Report Server reports. The data was
stored within Microsoft SQL Server which was accessed via stored procedures using T/SQL. I work with
Agile environment delivering production maintained tickets and new projects. Cooperate with managers,
developers, Customers to Creating design specification, gain approval for Customer and deliver to DEV,
QA and production environment in 2 week spring (delivery). A good project/new feature/production ticket
starts with clearly understanding the requirements and expectations from the client. In this case we
worked closely with Business and System Analysts that would give us the feedback of what was
required and provide us with Use Cases with initial requirements, which I will then analyse and come
back with questions and clarification requests.
After the analysis I enumerated the tasks and estimated the time required to implement, including all the
new tables, tables change, stored procedure changes, new stored procedures required, and therefore
the different layers that would be needed to create and change in terms of the WCF application services,
as well as the web pages required to be changed and created. Then the implementation was done
where all the different objects and layers were building and changed. As part of the development
process we make regular releases to our local test environment, where our testing team performs tests
and then we prepare a release to be shipped over to our client in the US. The client is responsible for
the User acceptance tests prior to the production release.
As part of my daily work I did update spring backlog work items ticket (TFS), upgrade required test

I have implemented html Views with Razor engine and models with client-and server side validation.
Working closely with Manager and with our Customer in the US and IRL. They required us to develop an
online shop to sell dental insurance to the people in several states of the country, that would have
different brands, logos, and content.
All the key factors were achieved on time and I was awarded a prize as part of my delivery in the project
which was very uplifting. I wrote technical designs, use cases, developed the webservices in C#, and
called the JAVA service that were designed to insert and update the records in the member tables enrol
payments. This project was for DeCare Dental Ireland and UK, the Blue Cross/ Blue Shield Health
