Senior enterprise integration architect driving event-driven, API-led transformation.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Enterprise Integration Architect with 19+ years delivering complex integration and transformation programmes across Tier 1 Banking, Payments, Insurance, and Financial Services. I specialize in designing high-availability, event-driven, API-led platforms across hybrid and multi-cloud estates.
I’ve led enterprise-wide strategies for ISO 20022 transformation and next-generation payment ecosystems, including SWIFT CBPR+, CHAPS, SEPA, RTGS, and Faster Payments. I build resilient Kafka enterprise streaming platforms—architecting multi-cluster Confluent/Kafka designs that aim for enterprise-grade availability (including 99.99% HA) and strong disaster recovery.
I also drive modernization from legacy middleware and monoliths into microservices and containerized integration using IBM ACE, IBM MQ, API gateways, and cloud-native patterns. I focus on Kafka-based orchestration, schema governance, event standardization, and API strategy—improving performance, reducing latency, and strengthening resiliency and compliance.
Across programmes at HSBC, Tata Consultancy Services (UK), Metro Bank, and others, I’ve combined architectural leadership with delivery ownership: DevSecOps/CI/CD, integration governance, observability (ELK Stack, Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry), and cross-domain best practices. I enjoy enabling engineering and business teams to ship secure, scalable payment and integration capabilities.
