• Considerable hands-on expertise with leading integration platforms (e.g. MuleSoft, Dell Boomi, Apache Camel), API-led architectures, messaging systems (e.g. Kafka, RabbitMQ), and data transformation approaches.
• Deep understanding of modern integration architecture patterns, including service-oriented, event-driven, and microservices architectures, with the ability to apply them in complex enterprise environments.
