Senior Integration & API Architect

Employed
Open to opportunities
Integration & API architect specializing in backlog management and prioritization, bridging
business requirements with critical platform capabilities including performance, security, and reliability. I orchestrate the design, build, & delivery of cross-system exchanges, ensuring robust release management through CI/CD pipelines and IaC. This approach has significantly enhanced the stability of our production "Enterprise Integration Platform" - something I'm particularly proud of.
My drive in IT comes from simple principles: precision, efficiency, and doing things right the first time. Within Agile frameworks, I've learned to always start with the people and processes involved before
jumping to technical solutions. This helps our team develop and maintain scalable middleware platforms that actually meet business needs while delivering on performance (those SLAs matter!) & balancing the eternal triangle of scope, schedule, and budget.
