Exceptional integration is the strategic fusion of systems, data, and processes to create a unified, efficient, and scalable enterprise architecture. It requires technical depth, architectural vision, and collaborative leadership to bridge legacy and modern platforms while ensuring real-time data flow, system reliability, and business agility. By designing reusable patterns, managing middleware lifecycles, and embedding governance, integration leaders eliminate silos, reduce technical debt, and enable rapid response to evolving business needs.
Led the introduction of SOA principles, selecting enterprise middleware and establishing service reuse governance. Created reusable integration components and design patterns that shifted IT culture to design for re-use — significantly reducing future development time and cost.
Led the transformation from point-to-point chaos to a centralised integration platform using Red Hat JBoss and JBoss Data Grid. Delivered five nines real-time passenger data to border agencies — the first production use-case — while establishing an Integration Competency Centre with TATA. Introduced agile CI/CD and laid the foundation for OpenShift adoption.
Architected a multi-system integration framework with Azure LogicApps connecting FireHawk, Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP / SCM / HCM, Adyen, and Adobe Experience Manager across 290 locations. Designed scalable interface points and middleware patterns to support future growth, while embedding governance and monitoring for operational resilience.
Integrated Temenos T24 with digital channels and legacy systems using WebMethods v9.6, ensuring real-time transaction flow and zero downtime during cutover. Established integration design patterns that became the standard for future banking projects.
Connected a new SaaS subscription engine with Covetrus practice management using Microsoft Azure Logic Apps. Delivered PCI-compliant payment flows and real-time policy updates, enabling seamless operations across all clinics.
Connected a 3rd party logistics for Petbarn with MS Dynamics Business Central using Boomi middleware.
Design for reuse with standardised patterns and API-first thinking. Embed monitoring, error handling, and version control from day one. Treat integration as a strategic asset, not a tactical fix — aligning with enterprise architecture and business strategy.
