• SAP Integration: Lead the technical design for SAP connectivity, specifically leveraging IDocs and enterprise connectors to ensure seamless business process integration.

• API Management: Own the onboarding/offboarding of APIs in Azure APIM, optimizing for performance, security, and cost-efficiency.

• Standards & Governance: Establish and enforce organizational standards for API security (OAuth 2.0, JWT, SAML) and integration best practices.

• Automation & DevOps: Drive CI/CD maturity for integration projects using GitHub Repos, Terraform, and automated deployment pipelines.

• Performance Optimization: Monitor and optimize high-volume data loads, managing document flow and memory usage within Boomi Molecules to ensure system stability.

• Collaboration: Partner with cross-functional teams to understand evolving business needs, translating requirements into robust technical specifications.

• Mentorship: Act as a subject matter expert, mentoring other engineers on Boomi development, and modern integration principles.
