Temenos Infinity Digital Banking
In progressLeading the deployment of Temenos Infinity — a next-generation online banking solution — onto OpenShift, bringing modern digital banking to an on-premise estate.
Real-time Kafka Backbone
DeliveredDeployed & tuned 4 Kafka clusters (2 production, 2 DR) synchronizing real-time data streams between Temenos Data Lake, Infinity and T24 core banking.
Ansible Automation Pipelines
DeliveredAutomated OpenShift deployments, configuration and patching with Ansible — cutting rollout times and manual effort by 40% across development and production.
AI & RPA for Banking
Current focusAlongside the EBI AI-for-Banking diploma, I'm building RPA and AI use-cases — intelligent ops automation, anomaly detection over Kafka streams, and self-service platform tooling — all for a strictly on-premise banking environment.
