Experience Summary
Client: United Services Automobile Association July 2016 – Till Date
Role: DataStage/Hadoop Developer
The United Services Automobile Association (USAA) is a Texas-based Fortune 500 diversified financial services
group of companies including a Texas Department of Insurance regulated reciprocal inter-insurance exchange and
subsidiaries offering banking, investing, and insurance to people and families that serve, or served, in the United States
military. At the end of 2015, there were 11.4 million members.
USAA was founded in 1922 by a group of U.S. Army officers as a mechanism for mutual self-insurance when they
were unable to secure auto insurance because of the perception that they, as military officers, were a high-risk group.
USAA has since expanded to offer banking and insurance services to past and present members of the Armed Forces,
officers and enlisted, and their immediate families.

Client: Walmart Jan 2015 – June 2016
Role: DataStage/Hadoop Developer
Walmart is the largest retailer of consumer staples products in the world. It was founded by Sam Walton in 1962, who
started with the idea of a store that would offer its customers the lowest prices in the market. Walmart was
incorporated in 1969 following the success of Walton’s ‘everyday low prices’ pricing strategy. It currently operates in
27 countries around the world. The company drives growth by expansion in its retail area and investments in e-
commerce. Nonetheless, it has underperformed its competitor, Costco over the last few years due to the Costco’s better
customer service record. Walmart has lost customers to Costco over the years, primarily because it doesn’t pay its
employees well, which has led to demotivation in the workforce and poor customer service

GM ADP Payroll project will outsource the payroll processing data to a third party provider - ADP which will process
the Employee Payrolls and sends back the data that will be used by various Downstream Payroll related Applications.
Currently 2 legacy applications are doing the payroll processing - HPS (Hourly Payroll System) and SPS (Salaried
payroll system) which involves lot of manual activities and need very long time to process the complete Payroll data.
