Lead Consultant – Technology at MCP PLC/ Destin8, assessed migration options for a legacy Java EE platform.

United Kingdom

Message

At MCP PLC/ Destin8, I led a Phase 1 assessment of a legacy Java EE platform’s migration from Oracle WebLogic. I evaluated JBoss EAP and WebSphere Liberty, then produced a platform recommendation and high-level migration roadmap.

At Version 1, I implemented a scheduled log analysis system using Claude Code to identify production issues. I also applied prompt engineering to classify log severity and automated incident creation through Jira integration.

As part of the JPMC development team, I worked on the TDSVM system for guest registration and meeting-room reservations. I implemented an Outlook add-in as a React application and completed CI/CD configuration.

Earlier, at Lloyds Banking Group, I helped maintain 24x7 application availability, achieving a 99.7% availability SLA. I also completed a cloud-migration POC that improved data retrieval speed by 99.9% and reduced costs by 25%.
