Experience
TIBCO BWCE-based Onboarding
As a software and technical architect and primary designer of the middleware solution, my main responsibilities were to analyze the requirements, communicate with the stakeholders and the enterprise architects, create a detailed design and integration plan, and manage a team to integrate the solution.
CORBA Interface
As part of the support team for the project, I suggested reviewing and debugging the adapter and implementing a hotfix to make it more time-efficient and reliable.
Mainframe to MDM Migration
I have designed and suggested an approach combining Kafka and EMS to make it both fail-tolerant and load-balanced. The server stress and load time were significantly reduced during batch loads, which made the service much easier to monitor and maintain.
