Mortgage Application (PENTA)

Software Engineer
Sep 2007 – Jun 2008

At Birlsoft, I contributed to the development of PENTA, a comprehensive mortgage software solution designed to streamline processes from loan origination to property discharge. The application was architected as a modular, multi-tier solution using EJB technologies, tailored to meet the needs of a financial services client in Australia — La Trobe Financial Services Pty Ltd.

This experience provided early exposure to large-scale enterprise systems, cross-border collaboration, and solution architecture — all of which helped broaden my technical and leadership capabilities.

Key contributions:

  • Led the off-shore development team, coordinating deliverables and ensuring alignment with client requirements.
  • Traveled to Australia for system prototyping and stakeholder engagement, building relationships and understanding domain-specific challenges.
  • Designed high-level system architecture, defining module layouts that provided a solid foundation for iterative development.
  • Developed core frameworks and base layouts, enabling subsequent feature development to proceed efficiently.
  • Integrated the GRIT Rule Engine with PENTA, enhancing the system’s decision-making capabilities.
  • Diagnosed and fixed production issues, improving stability and user experience.

Technologies used:

Core Java, JSP, EJB, Ant
