I led the development and implementation of the Pre-approval Management System, an interactive Customer Quoting Tool designed for Nissan Renault Financial Services India (NRFSI). This project aimed to revolutionize the loan application process by enabling instant loan pre-approval checks directly through handheld devices, empowering dealers and loan agents to provide curated offers and finance consumer loans on the go. This initiative transitioned the process from a back-office operation to a mobile-first, customer-centric experience. My role encompassed architecture, engineering leadership, project management, scrum master duties, and business analysis.
