SIEMENS INFORMATION SYSTEMS LTD, BANGALORE Jun 2004 – March 2008

Soarian® which is an integrated health care product targeted at the US and European markets. It consists of
various modules developed across India, Germany and US (around 400 people across multiple sites), using the
Agile Scrum development methodology. I worked for the Orders and Medication module within Soarian®
comprising of 50 members.

Using Scrum, Soarian® follows an iterative, strictly time-boxed delivery model. Each iteration of the process
(a Sprint, in Scrum lingo and is usually 30 days) finishes with a shippable incremental product release (Sprint
goal). This Sprint goal is presented to the customer in a Sprint review meeting, which serves as the basis for
planning the next Sprint.

I have served in a variety of roles, sometimes simultaneously - Scrum Master, Module Coordinator, and
Software Engineer.
