• Strong expertise in API-led connectivity and designing System, Process, and Experience APIs using Mule 4.x and DataWeave.
• Demonstrated experience using AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, MuleSoft Vibes) and defining patterns for their use in code, tests, documentation, and reviews.
• Proven track record owning integration reference architectures, reusable assets, and cross-cutting frameworks (error handling, logging, security).
• Strong background in CI/CD for MuleSoft using Git, Maven, and modern pipeline tooling.
• Experience defining and implementing API governance, security standards, and technical guardrails for integration work.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to lead design/gov forums and explain complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
• Demonstrated leadership and mentoring experience, enforcing design discipline and promoting reuse within development teams.

• Define and implement patterns for using AI tools (GitHub Copilot, MuleSoft Vibes) across the SDLC for code generation, testing, documentation, and code reviews.
• Establish and enforce integration standards, guardrails, and best practices, including security and API governance policies.
• Design and optimize CI/CD pipelines for MuleSoft (Git, Maven, pipeline tools), ensuring automated build, test, and deployment across environments.
• Lead technical design reviews and integration governance forums, providing expert guidance and resolving design issues.
