  • Tooling & Frameworks: Evaluate, integrate, and optimize AI-assisted tools (code translators, test generators, documentation bots) within modernization pipelines.
  • Integration & Ecosystem: Define approaches to integrate modernized applications with enterprise ecosystems (APIs, event-driven architecture, cloud).
  • Proof of Concepts (POCs): Drive R&D pilots to validate GenAIs effectiveness in accelerating modernization and reducing manual rework.
  • Governance & Compliance: Ensure transformation solutions adhere to security, compliance, and audit standards for enterprise environments.
  • Collaboration: Work closely with business stakeholders, modernization teams, and AI/ML experts to align solutions with enterprise IT roadmaps.
  • Mentorship & Knowledge Sharing: Provide guidance to development teams on legacy code patterns, modernization practices, and GenAI adoption.

  • Modern Architectures: Experience architecting Java, .NET, microservices, cloud-native applications.
  • GenAI Knowledge: Understanding of LLMs, prompt engineering, embeddings, code generation, and how they can accelerate modernization.
  • Migration Tools: Familiarity with code transformation frameworks, reverse engineering, and static analysis tools.
  • Cloud & DevOps: Hands-on with AWS/Azure/GCP, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and containerized deployments.
  • Data Modernization: Experience with ETL, database migration (DB2 relational/cloud), and data lineage in modernization programs.
  • Security & Compliance: Knowledge of enterprise security standards, regulatory compliance, and data privacy requirements.
  • Leadership & Communication: Strong leadership, stakeholder management, and ability to communicate complex solutions to both technical and non-technical audiences.
