About me

My career has been defined by a deep commitment to excellence in Enterprise Architecture. For the past 18 years, I have established myself as a niche specialist in Centura Team Developer and OpenText Gupta Team Developer, helping organizations navigate the complexities of legacy modernization.

Microsoft SQL ServersSolution Architecture
I have 18+ years of hands-on experience in Gupta Team Developer / Centura SQLWindows, working on large-scale, business-critical enterprise applications, particularly in the banking and financial services domain.
My core expertise includes Centura application development, maintenance, troubleshooting, version upgrades, legacy system analysis, database integration, and application modernisation. I have successfully upgraded applications from older Gupta/Centura versions to newer supported releases and have also been involved in migrating multiple legacy Centura applications towards modern technologies and architectures.
I have strong experience working with large and complex codebases, including reverse engineering existing applications, understanding business logic, identifying integration points, and resolving production issues while maintaining system stability.
My technical expertise includes:
  • Gupta Team Developer / Centura SQLWindows
  • SQLWindows application development and debugging
  • Large legacy application maintenance and enhancement
  • Centura version upgrades and migration
  • Legacy modernisation to .NET and modern web technologies
  • Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, SQLBase and relational database design
  • Complex SQL, stored procedures, performance tuning and database troubleshooting
  • Client/server and multi-tier application architecture
  • XML, web services, APIs and system integration
  • ReportBuilder and business reporting
  • Source control, release management and production support
  • Application architecture, technical leadership and mentoring
  • Azure, .NET, C++, Angular/React and modernisation planning
I currently work as a Senior Architect, supporting and modernising a large Centura-based core banking platform. My strength is combining deep legacy technology knowledge with modern architecture experience, allowing me to maintain critical existing systems while planning and delivering practical modernisation paths.
I am comfortable working independently, leading technical activities, collaborating with distributed teams, and handling complex legacy systems where stability, business continuity and technical accuracy are essential.
