 Led the architectural design discussions and decisions, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to ensure that technical solutions aligned with business requirements and goals. Provided guidance on best practices and architectural principles to drive efficient and effective solutions. Developed and implemented scalable coding frameworks tailored to the unique requirements of Mainframe applications. These frameworks were designed to optimize performance, maintainability, and flexibility, enabling seamless integration with existing systems and technologies. Worked closely with stakeholders to define multi-year technical roadmaps and strategies for application modernization and enhancement. Leveraged deep knowledge of Mainframe technologies to identify opportunities for improvement and innovation, ensuring alignment with organizational objectives. Conducted thorough solution reviews and provided technical oversight to development teams, ensuring adherence to design standards, best practices, and architectural guidelines. Proactively identified areas for improvement and provided constructive feedback to enhance overall code quality and maintainability. Played a pivotal role in the successful migration of highly consumed Mainframe applications to Microservices architectures. Leveraged expertise in Mainframe Technologies such as COBOL, DB2 etc. as well as Distributed technologies such as Java, Springboot, Mongo DB, Git to reduce MIPS hence cost savings for the organization. Led a critical key field expansion project, creating roadmaps based on REXX scripts for comprehensive Mainframe codebase scans, generating precise impact estimates, identifying critical patterns, and collaborating with multiple development teams to successfully remediate affected applications using validated solution recommendations.

 Took charge of a pivotal project involving the expansion of critical key field:o Developed REXX scripts to conduct comprehensive scans of the Mainframe codebase, pinpointingareas of impact.o Generated estimates for remediation efforts, accurately gauging the scope of impact.o Identified critical impact patterns and devised solution recommendations, validated through proofof-concept pilots, which were subsequently adopted by developers across the organization.o Collaborated closely with multiple development teams to successfully remediate affectedapplications.Capitalized on extensive mainframe experience to lead the business analysis of this modernization project which created the complete application in Java/MongoDB/pivotal cloud from scratch keeping the existing mainframe-based application as a reference.o Led the complex MVP effort that created a thin cross-sectional slice of the functionality to demonstrate the feasibility of the process.o Analyzed business APIs written in Mainframe and created workflows in MS Visio with business analysts to come up with a design for the domain-based RESTful microservice architecture.o Assisted development team in writing the TDD and BDD techniques to make sure the code written has proper coverage which was verified using sonarcube.o Interacted with Business during each sprint to demo a potentially deployable product to seek their feedback and enhance.o Implemented a model where MF analysts with 2-3 years of experience generated user stories for the Java development team by analyzing COBOL modules.o The user stories generated were further optimized to eliminate redundancy and granularized enough to be completed in a sprint by an experienced lead

Oversee the multi-year development cycle of a new architecture and the successful migration of the CA (Computer Associates) DCOM platform table to DB2 with minimal disruption to ongoing business.Successfully retiring this platform table, which had cost the company millions of dollars to maintain it, was a huge step towards accomplishing the plan of retiring the overall Datacom platform that was in the works for over 30 years.Overcame a critical technical, performance, and resource overhead challenge by finding the most effective and efficient way of reading Datacom table data from DB2 fields by segregating the fields based on their usage so that the consumer can set a particular indicator to retrieve what is required.Capitalized on extensive mainframe experience to lead the business analysis of this modernization project which created the complete application in Java/MongoDB/pivotal cloud from scratch keeping the existing mainframe-based application as a reference.Led a Proof of concept effort that created a thin slice of the new architecture with support for only 1 command (out of 20+) and after successful deployment, added 1-2 commands at a time.Doubled team velocity in 4 months and met 3-year project deadlines by getting all the team members agile trained so that we could implement agile methodologies in our project. Completed 8-10 projects on time, successfully leading teams to deliver significant business value and meet regulatory changes.Utilize strong command of best practices for Code development using Continuous Integration/ Continuous Delivery.
