I am a Certified MuleSoft and Azure Developer with a decade of hands-on experience in engineering high-performance integration solutions. My expertise lies in building secure, scalable API-led architectures and cloud-native integrations that bridge the gap between legacy systems and modern distributed environments. I specialize in delivering production-ready code in fast-paced, Agile environments, with a primary focus on the European fintech and insurance sectors.
Technical Expertise & Core Competencies
MuleSoft Ecosystem: Expert proficiency in the Anypoint Platform, including CloudHub 2.0, Runtime Fabric (RTF), and On-Premise deployments. I am highly skilled in developing complex data transformations using DataWeave 2.0, securing APIs via Anypoint Security and OIDC/OAuth2, and ensuring code quality through rigorous MUnit testing and automated peer reviews.
Azure Cloud Integration: Deep experience in Azure Integration Services. I specialize in developing Logic Apps, Azure Functions (Serverless), and utilizing Service Bus and Event Grid for asynchronous, event-driven patterns. I leverage Azure APIM for policy enforcement, gateway management, and securing cross-border data flows.
Automation & DevOps: A strong advocate for "Security-as-Code." I have extensive experience building CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, and Jenkins. I utilize Bicep and Terraform for Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) to ensure environment consistency and rapid, repeatable deployment cycles across multiple regions.
Selected Project Experience & Impact
API-Led Transformation: Designed and implemented a 3-tier API architecture (System, Process, Experience) for a major European insurer, which standardized data access and drove significant reusability across 40+ project streams.
SDLC Normalization: Streamlined developer workflows by implementing automated guardrails and technical "Starterkits." This reduced onboarding time by 30% and minimized technical debt through proactive automated testing.
System Modernization: Orchestrated the migration of legacy ESB workloads to Azure-hosted MuleSoft RTF, resulting in a 10x reduction in post-merge rework through the implementation of checksum validations and path-check logic in the deployment pipeline.
Delivery Focus & Engagement Model
I operate with a "Delivery-First" mindset, prioritizing rapid ticket resolution and high-quality implementation. My background ensures that every line of code I write is secure, composable, and production-ready. I am an independent contributor who thrives in Remote-First environments and is currently seeking Outside IR35 technical contracts within Europe. I am prepared to hit the ground running as a senior individual contributor, providing immediate value to development squads through certified technical excellence and a focus on clean, maintainable code.
