Chapter 01 · Impact

Work that moved the numbers.

Six things I shipped at Cisco since January 2024, from rebuilding a legacy Java platform to putting AI assistants in front of real users.

80K+
users served

System Integrator modernization

Moved a legacy Java EE application off JBoss to an MVC architecture on Apache Tomcat. The platform is now more stable and faster for everyone who depends on it.

  • Java EE
  • MVC
  • Tomcat
  • JSP / Servlets
35%
faster queries · 20% lower infra cost

Digital Financial Analyser on Snowflake

Migrated the DFA analytics platform from PostgreSQL to Snowflake, so finance teams get answers faster while the company pays less to run it.

  • Snowflake
  • PostgreSQL
  • Data migration
40%
less test-writing effort

GenAI test-data chatbot

A unified chatbot that simulates test data from changing business requirements and writes the unit tests too.

  • LLM agents
  • Python
100+
users adopted it

Control-M AI Assistant

Start, kill and check jobs without logging in to Control-M, with interactive reports on job metrics.

  • GenAI
  • Control-M
  • Reporting
1,000+
enterprise users

RPO application

A scalable Remaining Performance Obligations app with secure authentication and role-based access control.

  • React
  • REST APIs
  • RBAC
40%
faster deployments

End-to-end CI/CD on Kubernetes and OpenShift

Built release pipelines with Jenkins, Spinnaker and Docker so production releases go out reliably across every environment.
