Sirca, Sydney

(Contract) Oct 2014 – Feb 2015 Cloud Engineer

User Management System Sirca required a massively scalable UMS to protect their solutions and data. As part of the engagement I uplifted and rectified their UMS system using ForgeRock and enabled a further integration to Azure AD. This enabled the delivery Azure security in an Amazon Web Services cloud environment giving them massively scalable solutions.

CGU, Melbourne (Contract) May 2012 – July 2014 BPM & SOA Specialist

Product Enablement Provide CGU with IBM WebSphere ESB and Lombardi BPM specialist skills to install and enable BPM design and runtime solutions. This enabled CGU to provide a quicker turnaround on product definition and delivery into the insurance market and to more efficiently deliver, monitor and improve business process and service delivery.

Work Management Solution(s) Design and Implement a BPM workflow solution(s) to track and coordinate back office policy quote and account handling. This involved the modelling of the work management practices of CGU underwriters and the definition and construction of the workflow tasks, screens, data structures required to execute the model within the Lombardi BPM product space. This enabled DB Results to demonstrate their BPM capabilities to the CGU group and to successfully deliver a pilot solution that enabled DB Results to become the trusted BPM solution provider to CGU.

Requirements Management Migrate requirements management to Sparx UML and Atlassian JIRA tool sets. This involved moving the requirements out of spread sheets and word documents and managing them in a more open and agile requirements management approach. This enabled a faster turn around on requirements definition and validation enabling a quicker time to build on requirements capture.

Delivery Pipeline Define the process and construct the tooling to enable an efficient and effective software delivery pipeline for BPM solutions. This included the enablement of a methodology and a continuous integration solution to ensure the timeliness and quality of the solution was improved. This enabled CGU to start to manage multiple projects of the one resource base and technology set.

Framework and Toolkits Harvest and generalise service capabilities and product enhancements and augmentation into a common CGU application toolkit for BPM. This packaged and distributed the one common toolset and integration framework to multiple business consumers. This shortened the delivery time and repeatability of service component delivery by generalising service components into pre tested capabilities. This also allowed for a faster time to delivery on new products that could harvest the capabilities and re purpose them. It created a library of existing capabilities that are published to entice new business unites to get on board the BPM train.

Change Management Enabled and Embraced the Agile JIRA methodology for service delivery and issue management. This restructured the team approach to use an agile delivery methodology to allow a more efficient and prioritised delivery of service components and services. By allowing the most important activities to bubble to the top of the delivery teams attention, the most valuable and the highest risk components are identified and realised early in the delivery and the risk is managed in a more effective and visible manner.

Infrastructure Management Define and construct an artefact, deployment and configuration artefact management approach, framework and tooling to enable an efficient and controlled deployment of a solution in a reliable manner to multiple environments. This enabled Runtime Environment Variables and deployment endpoint configuration using common tooling and APIs to allow simple configuration and deployment to different environments with predictable and manageable outcomes. As a result the solution could be promoted to

higher environments with the assurance that solution quality was maintained and improved.

Product Augmentation Extend and augment the IBM BPM product capability to closer meet the customer expectation for an out of the box solution. This increased the uptake and ability for CGU to consume BPM as an enterprise capability

Competency Centre Enablement Define roles, responsibilities and skills required to effectively build and run a BPM software solution Competency Centre. This involved the definition, acquisition, training and certification of team capabilities to deliver and support BPM services to CGU stakeholders. This enabled CGU to provide a BPM Competency Centre that now handles 4 concurrent streams of project and service delivery. This transfers ownership of the skills and operational effectiveness to CGU to own as an internal business capability.

DB Results DB Results is a strategy and service delivery consultancy delivering services into the telecommunications and utilities industries. IBM Lombardi BPM customer growth – Through the enablement of the BPM CC and project delivery at CGU, DBResults now has a solid representation in the finance industry with the CGU as their largest customer.

Oracle Integration CBA as an extensive library of Oracle data, data types and stored procedures. This solution created a generic IBM WESB adapter to access and leverage the CBA CommSee Oracle data services. IBM does not support the full capabilities of Oracle and this new adapter completed the coverage of the IBM tool to access the broader Oracle capabilities. This enabled the efficient definition and delivery of BPM coordinated products and services to make use of the core Oracle data asset at CBA and thus centralise the process and service knowledge and the execution into the BPM tooling.

Operational and Support Systems Provide Logging and Exception Handling frameworks and services to support and administer the runtime of the WebSphere WESB, Process Server and Lombardi BPM frameworks.
