My proudest accomplishment was to optimise the code for better results by auditing software programmes, locating inconsistencies, and recommending practical solutions. Designing and building advanced features for the system to meet ever-changing client's requirements was part of my day-to-day job description. I was at the helm of the affairs for developing robust solutions for the system through the effective utilisation of coding methodologies. My most celebrated achievement at XChanging (Now part of DXC) was to identify and resolve bugs and inconsistencies by conducting comprehensive software tests. It was my responsibility to ensure seamless execution of overall operations by fostering real-time collaboration with clients and business analysts. I maintained consistent liaison with clients to understand necessary requirements, while generating/recommending novel methods for achieving desired solutions. One of my key responsibilities at this job was to identify and mitigate discrepancies and execute optimal solutions with a keen focus on enhancing existing programmes. My selected contributions: Developed testable codes to support database of clients, while working on insurance software. Enhanced sustainability and optimal performance of the existing system by including new features (utiliSing robust coding practices).
