  • Strong knowledge of cloud platforms (Azure, AWS), SaaS/PaaS environments, and on-premises systems
  • Hands-on experience with integration patterns, APIs, service bus, real-time and asynchronous data exchange
  • Proficiency in architecture modelling tools such as UML, SysML, Visio, and capability mapping techniques
  • Experience designing solutions across digital platforms including CRM, ERP, CMS, eCommerce, and data lakes
  • Solid understanding of data privacy regulations (PCI, GDPR) and ensuring solutions meet compliance standards
