I have a Masters in Electrical Engineering from IIT Delhi(1987). Since then I have worked with IBM, National Bank of Australia, Millipore, CSX, Ryder Logistics, Ceva Logistics, and now I am at Bluecross Blueshield of Florida. My current professional work is around Strategy, Vision, Solutions, Design and Programming for the Enterprise. The Enterprise areas of focus are: Web, Mobile, and Cloud. I am also a co-author of ProAndroid, a well received book on Android Mobile Platform from APress. I have created (and continue to enhance) AspireWeb, a Java based RAD Web Platform. I have also developed "Knowledgefolders" a multi-tenanted learn-and-publish platform. I published over 50 articles on Java, Dotnet, Databases, Software Engineering, Internationalization, and SOA. I am also a co-author and implementor of a number of SBIR (Small Business Innovative Research) grants.

Florida Blue serves 4 million lives for their health care needs in the state of Florida. I have been a key member of the team that analyzed suitable solutions to enhance the member experience with the contact center. I have looked at the detail architecturs of Salesforce, PEGA systems, Microsoft Dynamics and Siebel for their suitability for a health care contact center.
In a separate effort, provide architecture and facilitate with a number of external vendors to allow business agility and reduce time to market. This is a significant amount of integration and co-ordination work.
Rearchitect the consumber health care sales platforms for Florida Blue to enable rapid introduction of new products. This is game changing technology that allows products to be designed standalone and introduce them into a running platform with out recompiling the core platform similar to cloud deployment. I have led a core team of 3 and then a supplementary team of over 10 to migrate the current products to this new platform.
I also took a key marketing website that is developed on Websphere and move it to Drupal for agility, cost, and quality. I have shown a 10 time reduction in code size and corresponding benefits in testing and stability. I have led a team of 5 core developers and an additional 10 supplemental support folks for infrastructure, and testing to bring this novel approach to the Enterprise.
Inroduced Salesforce for the Florida Blue sales agents to sell health insurance to consumers. I have integrated Salesforce with single-sign-on with Florida Blue's single-sign-on solution which is PMI. I have also integrated Salesforce with the Florida Blue web sales platforms to avoid retyping and also propagate status. I have led a team of about 15 across multiple teams to coordinate all of the work.
Understand the entire portfolio of applications and processes at Florida Blue and draw out a road map for their target architecture. The areas researched include marketing, sales, underwriting, enrollment, id cards, fulfillment, billing, commissions, claims, provider networks, ancillary products (such as dental, life, critical illness). I have worked with a number of departments and conclusions were presented to Senior Vice Presidents. These road maps helped in planning and allocation of funds for future projects.
The work that came out of this helped in reshaping the front end sales platforms and a new strategy for ancillary products.
Led a team of over 15 develoeprs and 50 personnel to implement a small group sales process that needed to co-exist with the internal sales platform of Siebel. I have architected a service bus that used Siebel as the provider of services and the UI is entirely developed in J2EE.
worked on weekends to co-author a comprehensive developers book for the Android SDK. It is extremely well received on Amazon and held the top 4 spots in the mobile programming for a number of months. Spoke at multiple conferences on Android including the quite prestigious OSCON (O'Reilly Open Source Conference) in 2009.
Created a marketing platform for the book by slightly tweaking the Aspire Knoweldge Folders (AKF: The open source CMS that I have designed and worked on for the last 10 years).
Implemented custom objects in AKF that are similar to content types in Drupal and custom objects in Salesforce and Siebel. This innovative facility will allow JQuery UI applets to be written by various tenants that can be hosted on AKF. The future work exploding this idea multi-fold to write custom applications with in a CMS and with in a cloud.
worked at various companies part time mainly consulting around J2EE and Asp.net while continue to develop and publish research papers on AspireWeb and AKF. Published over 50 papers. Spoke at OSCON 3 times on novel ideas in software development.
Helped author a number of SBIR grants. Contributed to a lot of research to the approved grants ranging from early portals to SVG based Javascript drawing.
Provided architecture for migrating a power builder and native windows based platform to asp.net. Published a number of papers on asp.net especially around localization.
Helped CSX to develop an executable architecture (framework) to quickly and consistentnly develop database and mainframe driven web applications. A number of web applications at CSX used this server side framework.
I have led a team of 20 developers to develop this windows based MFC application to provide routing and load planning.
Use C++ extensively to convert Mac based image work flow system to OS/2 and Sybase. I have also played a key role in architecting a general purpose Transportation Framework in C++. This is where I was able to cut my teeth on designing a framework that could transform an Enterprise.
Helped IBM to test Plant floor operating systems based on OS/2 by writing test interpreters in "C" and then writing the scripts to test them.
Helped National Bank of Australia to design OS/2 based terminal software for their branch networks.
Wrote code for Millipore Chromatography division using C++ and MFC. This is a windows desktop based chemical analysis tool. Really cool stuff.
