## About

I keep business critical applications running\. For 6\+ years I have worked in L2 application and production support for Java based enterprise systems across US healthcare, retail banking and insurance\. At Conduent I support 30\+ applications on 50 UNIX/Linux servers, including the OCR document processing system for the US Department of Health and Human Services, and help hold 99\.5%\+ availability as part of an 11 member round the clock team\. What I do every day: • Resolve 30\+ P3/P4 tickets a week in ServiceNow at 95%\+ SLA • Restore P1/P2 incidents within a 1 hour SLA and lead major incident bridges • Monitor 150\+ AutoSys jobs a day, rising to 300\+ in end of day cycles • Read Java exceptions, stack traces and logs to reach the root cause quickly • Tune Oracle SQL to trace the data issues behind rejected or stuck batches Two things I am proud of: • Stopped a batch job that failed 3 to 4 times a week by finding a race condition with an upstream file transfer\. It now runs at 100% SLA and saves the team 2\+ hours every week\. • Wrote a Shell script that turned a 30 minute morning health check into a 5 minute review\. Before Conduent, I spent almost 4 years at Astran Tech Solutions supporting HSBC's core banking system and Prudential UK's PAPS suite of 29 middleware applications\. Tools I use: ServiceNow, AppDynamics, Splunk, Kibana, Grafana, JConsole, AutoSys, Control\-M, Oracle, SQL, UNIX/Linux, Shell scripting and ITIL processes\. I enjoy solving production issues under pressure and working closely with development, DBA and infrastructure teams\. Feel free to connect or write to me at ibikash9938@gmail\.com\.
