• Streaming & Messaging: Integrate and process high-volume datasets using Kafka for real-time asynchronous data flows.
• Database Engineering: Write and optimize PL/SQL queries to retrieve, transform, and validate data integrity during the conversion.
• Containerized Orchestration: Support deployments and maintain middleware nodes within an OpenShift environment.
• Automation: Develop and maintain Unix/Linux shell scripts for operational support and automation.
