HCSC (BlueCross BlueShield of Illinois) engaged TaylorMade Software to lead architecture and resolve system inefficiencies across 5 critical healthcare applications.

Serving as Lead Java Systems Architect, we designed and reviewed Spring Boot microservices, improving design correctness and reducing deployment issues by 20%. We also provided hands-on support to developers, increasing their productivity by 15% and decreasing issue resolution time by 40%.

We troubleshot MuleSoft integration issues, conducted peer code reviews, and monitored performance with Dynatrace—ultimately achieving a 25% performance improvement and reducing known issues by 30%.

Our collaboration with director-level leadership ensured better alignment between business goals and development execution. All work was deployed within Azure and Pivotal Cloud environments.
