About

Strategy to ship: API-led systems that scale and stay secure.

I partner with architecture, product, and delivery teams to define blueprints, enforce governance, and lead implementation through cutover - balancing speed, safety, and observability.

Architecture

Experience, Process, and System APIs with reusable assets, versioning, and dependency mapping.

Security

OAuth2, Client ID enforcement, SLA/rate limits, and standardized gateway policies.

Execution

PI planning, backlog health, CI/CD pipelines, and regression safety for runtime upgrades.

Capabilities

Full-stack integration leadership.

API Design & Governance

RAML/OAS, proxy patterns, standards, discoverability, and lifecycle controls.

Integration Patterns

Orchestration, routing, pub/sub, batch, event-first, and error-handling frameworks.

Data & Transformations

DataWeave for XML/JSON/CSV/fixed-width, schema validation, and performance tuning.

Platform Engineering

Runtime upgrades, regression strategy, caching/streaming, and connection optimization.

Delivery & Ops

Azure DevOps CI/CD, Maven builds, Git workflows, and environment promotion.

Team Leadership

Mentorship, code reviews, standards, and enablement across multiple agile teams.
