• Quarkus / MicroProfile for cloud-native application development

• Strong knowledge of microservices, SOA, event-driven, and integration architectures.

• Hands‑on experience with Kubernetes/OpenShift for deploying and scaling middleware workloads.

• Understanding of DevOps, CI/CD, automation, and observability.

• Familiarity with hybrid cloud, multi-cloud, and edge computing environments.

• Excellent consulting skills: stakeholder management, executive communication, and presentation.

• Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams and deliver complex enterprise solutions.

• Experience in large-scale application modernization programs (monolith to microservices, containerization).
