Accomplishments

• Effectively led international engineering teams (Engineering Managers, Architects, Team/Tech Leads) of 40+ to the sustained velocity across multiple value streams, geographic borders, time zones, and cultures.

• Spearheaded a top financial institution’s API Platform strategy by collaborating on defining the Platform needs and vision, driving product selection (open source and COTS), evaluations, proof of concepts, API lifecycle governance & automation, API entitlements that enabled the bank to build API-driven interoperable platforms.

• Created product strategy, defined the architecture, roadmap for a PaaS-based multi-tenant Intelligent Document Vault in the cloud, leveraging Alfresco, Solr, Instabase (OCR), & Spring Boot that reimagined the document interactions & enabled the business to offer personalized products by leveraging the information extracted from the digitized assets.

• Accelerated the cloud migration effort for a major bank by modernizing 200+ SOAP and BPEL workloads to REST-based cloud- native microservice architecture leveraging AWS services (R53, ALB, ECS to manage Dockerized workloads) for high availability

(multiple AZs and identical clusters in multi-region), scale, observability, and metrics pipeline leveraging CloudWatch, SNS, and Serverless and industrializing the migration process enabling a “You Build You Own” culture.

• Realized 10M+ in savings of operating expenses by delivering a mainframe exit program that offloaded the MIPS/read data to ANSI SQL DB, introducing data APIs and following CQRS.

• Built a highly customizable and scalable Business Process/Rules Management System (BPMS/BRMS) products from the blueprint to production including the product roadmap, architecture, market research, that enable businesses to reimagine the existing business process and create intelligent workflows and increase their ROI.

• Operational Excellence - Increased engineering velocity by standardizing the microservices development process through construction of accelerators – code generators, frameworks & introduction of quality gates into the DevOps pipeline and effectively reducing the development time from two sprints to 1.5 sprints.
