• Wrote first version of BRM Decision Table and Rules compiler for SAP HANA.
• SAP HANA is SAP’s implementation of in-memory database technology. I designed and implemented the java based compiler which compiles the Business Rules captured in form of Decision Table and If-Then Rules into HANA SQLScript.
• Because of this feature now Business Rules can directly be written on HANA DB artifacts and subsequently Business Rules can be readily applied on the data available in-memory.
• Architect for NW-BRM scrum team.
• Architected and reviewed new developments done by our scrum team.
• Participated in regular central architects meeting at SAP.
• Architected and designed OSGI based BRM runtime.
• BRM Runtime is a set of 6 components. In the existing BRM runtime the components are in the form of libraries, the components are not designed to fit the bill of OSGi modularization. The components are not loosely coupled, and have unnecessary dependency on other components and some of them are not functionally cohesive.
• To make BRM runtime fit in OSGi container all the problems mentioned above needed to be solved. I architected and prototyped the new OSGi based BRM runtime.

• Moved to SAP upon YASU's acquisition by SAP Labs.
• Design and implementation of Rule Testing API for NetWeaver BRM.
• Rule Building in NetWeaver BRM is based on Java classes and XSD (schema). Once rules are built on some class or schema there was no way to automate the testing of developed rules. I along with the team developed and implemented APIs using which the created rules can be tested against a set of data saved in a data source. This enables clients to verify the accuracy of the rules developed before going live.
• Participated in several NW-BRM GA and SP releases.
• I had been actively involved in the complete life cycle (Preparing documents for requirements, design, implementation, bug fixing, testing) of various NW BRM releases. As being a member of core development team I was also involved in answering technical queries, fixing problems of the customers.
• Integration of YASU QuickRules BRMS into SAP NW- BRM.
• I was one of the major contributors involved in integration of the QuickRules BRMS (YASU’s BRM product) into the SAP NetWeaver after YASU’s acquisition by SAP. The target was to make BRM a core component of NetWeaver application suite. This work required sound knowledge of APIs used by SAP Netweaver and it involved a great effort in connecting QuickRules BRMS APIs with NetWeaver APIs.
