WORK HISTORY
Software Engineer IV, 06/2007 to Current
Moneygram International Inc. Minneapolis

Since we are a consumer facing company, we always strive for better consumer experience
through innovations and use of new technologies. Our goal is to keep the consumer happy and at
the same time have a robust system that prevents fraud. I was instrumental in a project that helped
Moneygram save millions of dollars by preventing fraudulent transaction by
developing/implementing a fraud monitoring system.
As a lead, I worked with Enterprise Architect in designing the application level components. Even
though we had an agile development environment, we laid more stress on documentation. I led the

creation of design artifacts like use case, sequence diagram, class diagram and flowcharts for
complex interactive system. We implemented new technologies like Identity Insight, Actimize for
global and internal watch list.

Recently Moneygram changed the way it was controlling the flow of transaction. We went for an
overhaul of our system with the introduction of new technology. With the introduction of XML
Gateway(Layer 7) , ESB , ODM, Tibco we were in a position to better manage routing , rule
injection and parallel processing. All this work needed lot of designing, discussion with business,
BAs , developers across different teams located on site and across the globe.
I, along with my team in India and Mexico contributed a lot to this effort. We made sure that the
requirements were clear. To put things in perspective we did a in-depth design work with
SPARKZ, presented the design to EAs , PMS and the entire team. Got the approval on the design
and finally coded it.
Also with this effort our web service became dynamic with just key value pairs rather than huge
set of static fields, which was hard to change once it was published and we would have to have a
new version for any new change. Our system is moving toward SOA. We have SOAP, JAXWS,
and RESTful service for wide range of application.
Was part of the team that implemented "Dodd Frank Regulations" to our core system. With timely
and successful implementation, Moneygram was able to save on hefty fines from FTC, which runs
into millions.
Provide estimation of work and prepare daily report of progress to meet the project timeline.
Lead role for our core Java middleware system. Active participation in designing complex
compliance system and new products features.
Sharing the design overview with our onshore and offshore team. Allocation of work to the team
members.
Ensure quality product delivery in tight deadlines. Helping solve technical challenges faced by any
team member, interacting with the team on a regular basis to understand the progress, challenges.
Actively participate in the entire SDLC process right from its inception to designing, coding QA
support and production release. We also contributed a lot in warranty support after the project went
live.
