Available to hire
I am an IT consultant with nearly 20 years of experience, performing roles such as Architect, Developer/Lead and Consultant. I thrive in high-pressure environments and have a proven track record of delivering successful projects across the full lifecycle, from inception through support. I have worked with waterfall, agile and hybrid approaches and led cross-functional teams on complex e-commerce and payments integrations.
My expertise spans designing and developing Java/JEE applications, e-commerce platforms (IBM WebSphere/HCL Commerce), REST-based headless integrations, and cloud deployments on AWS and Azure. I have delivered payment integrations with PSPs such as Worldpay, ReD, Cybersource, PayPal, and Adyen, and I commonly lead solution architecture, data modeling, testing, and DevOps-related activities. I am committed to continuous learning and have earned certifications in Java, AWS, and Kubernetes while guiding teams to successful client outcomes.
