  • Strong leadership and communication skills, with experience managing complex, large-scale projects and mentoring teams.
  • Proven ability to troubleshoot and resolve production issues, lead through rollback scenarios, and handle critical decisions under pressure.
  • Experience working in an Agile environment, managing backlogs, sprints, and cross-functional teams.
  • Hands-on experience with legacy mainframe systems and the ability to identify and decouple dependencies for cloud migration without impacting critical functions, especially in the financial services industry.
  • Familiarity with event-driven architectures and their application in real-time systems.
  • Strong understanding of data structures and time complexity, with examples of solving high-complexity problems in large-scale environments (e.g., analyzing joint bank accounts over millions of records).
