Digital Transformation Leader & API-Centric Architect | Core Banking Modernization | Scalable Ecosystem Builder With 15+ years of experience in driving large-scale digital transformations, I specialize in architecting API-driven ecosystems and modernizing legacy banking systems to deliver efficiency gains, cost savings, and seamless customer experiences. My passion lies at the intersection of strategy and execution, where I bridge business outcomes with scalable technical solutions. What I Bring to the Table: End-to-End Digital Banking Solutions: Designed and implemented corporate account onboarding, KYC automation (70% efficiency gain), and SME lending platforms using 40+ API integrations (MuleSoft, IBM ACE, Kong). Legacy Modernization: Spearheaded migrations (SAP Ariba → Oracle Fusion, AS400 → REST APIs) and built containerized middleware layers to enable Open Banking initiatives. Regulatory & Compliance Tech: Automated FATCA/CRS reporting (90% error reduction) and ensured ZATCA compliance through scalable architectures. Cross-Functional Leadership: Managed global teams (IBM i, PEGA, DataPower) using Agile/DevOps to deliver complex transformations aligned with enterprise standards. Key Achievements: Reduced onboarding time by 50% via APIs for ID validation (Thiqah, Yakheen) and mobile ownership checks (Tahaqaq). Architected core banking APIs for interoperability with external systems (SIMAH, Kafalah, Musaned), enabling straight-through processing. Led 90+ integrations across MuleSoft, IBM ACE, and Kong, aligning technology with business growth. Why Work With Me?
