Security & Compliance:

  • Ensure data security and secure coding practices are followed.
  • Identify and resolve security vulnerabilities proactively.
Documentation & Knowledge Transfer:
  • Maintain API specifications, architecture diagrams, and deployment documentation.
  • Facilitate knowledge transfer to new team members and support operational readiness.
Initial Deliverables (First 60-90 Days):
  • Technology stack recommendation finalized and documented.
  • Application architecture documented.
  • CI/CD pipeline defined and integrated.
  • MVP-level Spring Boot microservices deployed to dev/test.
