About

I’m a Cloud Integration & Solution Architect with 14+ years of experience designing, modernizing, and delivering enterprise integration platforms across banking and other large-scale enterprise environments. My core expertise is enterprise integration, with deep hands-on experience in IBM App Connect Enterprise (ACE), IBM Integration Bus, IBM MQ, API integration, and distributed enterprise systems. Over the years, I have worked across solution design, architecture, development, performance optimization, production support, high availability, disaster recovery, and modernization initiatives. My recent work has expanded into cloud-native and modern integration architecture, including: • Cloud-native integration and modernization • Java & Spring Boot microservices • Kubernetes & Red Hat OpenShift • AWS ROSA • Kafka and event-driven architecture • REST APIs and API integration • Docker and CI/CD • Enterprise observability using Splunk and ELK • Resilient and highly available distributed systems I also work at the intersection of enterprise integration and Generative AI. I am an IBM Certified watsonx Generative AI Engineer and have worked on AI-powered incident intelligence using IBM BOB, watsonx.ai and Model Context Protocol (MCP), integrating enterprise systems such as Splunk, SQL Server, GitHub and ticketing platforms for incident analysis, AI-assisted RCA and intelligent routing. I have worked with enterprise and banking environments across India and international engagements, collaborating with architects, infrastructure teams, development teams, business stakeholders, and client leadership to design scalable and maintainable solutions. I’m particularly interested in opportunities involving: • Solution / Integration Architecture • Cloud Integration Architecture • Enterprise & API Architecture • Event-Driven & Microservices Architecture • Banking & Financial Services Technology • Cloud modernization • AI-enabled enterprise platforms I enjoy solving complex integration problems where legacy enterprise platforms, modern cloud-native technologies, APIs, events, and AI need to work together reliably at scale.
