What I'm looking for

I seek senior technical roles focusing on mainframe modernization, migrations and end-to-end delivery in collaborative, deadline-driven teams, with opportunities to mentor and lead.

I am a growth-driven, self-motivated Mainframe Analyst with over 15 years of progressive experience across Cards and US Healthcare domains, delivering end-to-end business information management solutions.

I have led requirement analysis, design, development, testing, integration and deployment on large, complex projects — guiding migrations, modernizations and production support using COBOL, JCL, DB2, CICS and associated Mainframe tools.

I collaborate closely with stakeholders, produce architecture and design artifacts, and drive delivery under tight deadlines while mentoring teams and maintaining strong documentation practices using Jira and Confluence.
