Experience comparing and positioning trade-offs between private public and hybrid cloud solutions on AWS.
Strong hands-on experience designing integration architectures connecting legacy/mainframe systems with cloud-native services in hybrid environments. Proficient in REST API design and governance asynchronous messaging patterns (SQS SNS MQ Kafka JMS) event-driven architecture and data pipeline design (ETL/ELT CDC). Experience designing anti-corruption layers strangler fig patterns and parallel run coordination between mainframe and cloud systems. Ability to assess trade-offs between synchronous and asynchronous integration patterns and select the right approach for each migration scenario.
Conversant in network security methods appliances and systems including VPC design public/private subnet segmentation NACLs security groups WAF and Shield. Strong understanding of hyperscale connectivity LAN/WAN architecture Direct Connect VPN and PrivateLink for mainframe-to-cloud connectivity.
