Global Citi Consumer Bank CTO leader – mandated to transform the crucial API ecosystem, API development techniques (domain-driven design, event-driven architecture), and processes of one of the world’s largest banks – covering North America, APAC, and Mexico. - Conducted an in-depth analysis of the current state and created a comprehensive global API Strategy - approved by all regional CIOs, Chief Architects, and Consumer Bank Global CIO and CTO. The strategy covers API platforms, API governance, target API landscape, open vs. private APIs, and API implementation (domain/event-driven).- Completely revamped the API governance and landscape model to move away from order-taking, project-centric engagement to domain-based, product-level direction. This will drastically improve the overall API and microservice reuse across the Consumer Bank, which was revealed to be quite low- Instituted a ‘runtime governance’ function after several production incidents with the API infrastructure. After analysis of the incidents, it was clear that the API technology was not being optimized or governed. Created a team to review product/plan/API structure within the tool, made recommendations to remediate, and staffed an ongoing oversight capability to ensure proper usage of the API platform- Created an education series describing a new architectural paradigm for API implementations leveraging Domain-Driven Design and Event-Driven Architecture. Many detailed presentations and tutorials were presented globally to raise awareness and knowledge, including the GCB Global Architecture Forum (chaired by global CTO), and all regional architecture forums. This has provided the necessary knowledge transfer, approval, and background to enable adoption in 2020.
