• Build and expose secure REST and SOAP web services supporting core banking, settlements, risk management, and client facing systems.

• Deploy and operate Java applications on Azure using VMs, App Services, and serverless components such as Azure Functions.

• Analyze and modernize large legacy codebases (Java, COBOL, PL/SQL, Perl) to understand business logic, dependencies, and migration risks.

• Re architect legacy applications beyond lift and shift, transforming monolithic systems into modular or cloud native architectures on Microsoft Azure.

• Leverage AI assisted code analysis tools to accelerate legacy code understanding, dependency mapping, and modernization roadmaps.

• Implement and manage CI/CD pipelines using GitHub and Azure DevOps to enable automated build, test, and deployment processes.

• Ensure compliance with security, regulatory, and data protection standards, including encryption, access control, and secure cloud configurations.

• Implement monitoring, logging, and observability solutions to proactively manage performance, stability, and operational issues in production.
