  • Lead Architect for GOLD - the next generation platform of Gale’s On Line Delivery System, which will enable the company to create products more easily, scale efficiently and economically and tier the features according to the market.
  • Responsible for overall architecture, design and development principles, selection of technologies, integration of multiple sub-systems working with the respective architects.
  • Designed and proposed high-level n-tier architecture with each layer/tier providing a specific functionality - presentation, federated content access/middle tier (FCA), content and billing tiers.
  • Designed FCA layer there by enabling access to different Content sources (Search Engines and Repositories) and hence new content could be integrated into the existing Products very easily. This Design was reviewed by many business units. ICE was used as the distributed platform and Spring was used to decouple the components from ICE. ICE - Internet communication engine was used for its versioning, scalable, highly efficient, cross platform capabilities. Spring extensions were designed and implemented to minimise the dependency on ICE.
  • Implemented best practices around CI and "pre-commit" builds to detect and catch integration issues across different subsystems as soon as possible.
