Support and modernize existing legacy code bases and processes while designing and implementing new, forward-looking solutions.

Polyglot Development :

Hybrid Environment Development :

Build and maintain solutions for both legacy on-premises environments and modern cloud-native platforms, with a focus on AWS services and architecture.

Data Integration :

Consume and integrate data from multiple sources, including on-premises SQL Server, cloud-based data platforms (AWS, Azure Fabric), and third-party providers via APIs and file transfers.

Low-Code Solutions :

Build non-trivial, enterprise-grade applications using low-code platforms (e.g., Appian, Mendix, OutSystems) that are used company-wide.

Problem Solving & Iteration :

Make tactical decisions to resolve immediate issues, then evolve those fixes into permanent, well-architected solutions through controlled iteration.

AI Utilization :

Leverage AI and machine learning to enhance automation, insight, and efficiency—using AI as a strategic tool,

not a replacement for technical expertise.

Hands-on experience with Business Process Management (BPM) platforms and low-code tools (e.g., Appian, Mendix, OutSystems).

Skilled in using AI tools to amplify coding productivity by refining, optimizing, and clearly communicating self-generated ideas - leveraging AI as a collaborator to improve solutions, not as a substitute for original thought or problem-solving.

Methodology Experience :

Familiarity with Agile and Scrum development processes, including participation in sprint planning, daily stand-ups, reviews, and retrospectives,

where iteration and collaboration enhance your productivity rather than slow it down .

Collaboration & Influence :
