I modernize core banking and retail mainframe systems through COBOL, DB2, batch optimization, and Azure migration.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my mainframe modernization, business analysis, and Azure migration experience to translate complex legacy systems into reliable cloud-ready solutions.

At TCS, I reverse-engineer COBOL/DB2 codebooks and JCL workflows for a major US retail client, creating source-to-target mappings for Azure cloud migration.

I translate legacy batch logic into business workflows through BRDs, FRDs, functional specifications, and process diagrams. I also reconcile COBOL-DB2 updates against MS SQL Server and Teradata, helping maintain data integrity across hybrid environments.

Previously at TCS and Infosys, I developed, maintained, and optimized COBOL, JCL, and DB2 systems supporting European banking and high-volume US bank transaction processing. My production work includes CA-7 batch monitoring, abend resolution, rerun and restart procedures, release management, and root-cause analysis within strict SLA and compliance requirements.

I use GenAI tools to accelerate legacy-code comprehension and test-case generation, reducing impact-analysis cycles by 25%. I bring six years of experience across banking, retail, and hospitality, connecting technical mainframe detail with clear functional requirements for transformation teams.
