I never really appreciated the value of a diamond until I worked on this project with a client who grades and inscribes diamonds. I was pulled into this project to modify their existing reporting system around invoicing. They also wanted to change their printers to a better brand. These printers were specially designed to print only on chip based cards. This project was really exciting because

A typical traditional team structure consisted of a Business Analyst, Quality Analyst, Developer, Database specialist, Operations / IT support. These project roles were very well defined and the people associated used to strictly stick to their tasks. This leads to situations where a developer very often worries less about the quality of the system as he/she thinks that it was the task of

My client was situated in a beautiful town called Heidelberg in Germany. Once again I was lucky to have met such wonderful talented people and made some great friends. The client was basically a consumer price comparison website for house hold gas, electricity and telecommunication. It took off as a startup 10 years ago and has grown to a medium sized family based business to become one of

Recently I worked on a project for a car insurance company. It was very exciting in terms of the domain as I have not worked in the Insurance domain before. So there was some learning in that end. It was one of the best clients I have worked with; right from the management to down below, everybody was very co-operative in helping us out with all the infrastructure and also about the domain /

I attended my first code jam as an Agile Quality Analyst last week in our ThoughtWorks London office. It was a great experience and learnt quiet a bit to take forward to future code jams. The code jam was conducted for a project called RapidFTR which is a child finder application to reunite children who get separated from their families during natural disasters. The developers spent a lot of
