I build secure, cloud-native financial API platforms that accelerate enterprise client adoption.
What I'm looking for
At Citi, I lead product and platform strategy for Citi Connect and Data on Demand APIs, combining .NET, Java, Node.js, Kafka, and cloud-native architecture to deliver resilient financial platforms.
I reduced time-to-market by 60% by containerizing the .NET 8 Data on Demand API on OpenShift ECS, reduced initial defect density by 65% using GenAI orchestration, and shortened client onboarding cycles by 40% across EMEA, NAM, and APAC. I’ve also onboarded 30+ global enterprise clients to Citi APIs and strengthened platform security through JWT, CyberArk, and automated vulnerability patching.
Across Citi, Xoriant, IRIS Software, Cognizant, HCL, and Fiserv, I’ve built trading, entitlement, data, and enterprise integration systems. I bring 20+ years of hands-on architecture leadership across API products, DevSecOps, observability, distributed data platforms, and global stakeholder delivery.
