Solution Architect Dynamics 365 FinOps

Candidate Description

Combining more than 10 years of solution architecture experience with a broad background in application delivery, the candidate specialises in enterprise integration, legacy modernisation and business process improvement. Their current contract with a Consulting Firm supporting a Financial Institution encompasses application solution architecture and Dynamics 365 FinOps. They bring experience across financial services, government, utilities, healthcare, defence, telecommunications, manufacturing and energy. Core strengths include Azure-hosted application landscapes, Dynamics AX, middleware integration, REST APIs and data architecture. Their approach combines analytical problem-solving with practical attention to business requirements and cost-effective delivery. A foundation in accounting and business administration supports their understanding of financial processes and operational systems.

Legacy integration and data transformation are central to their technical contribution. At a Financial Institution, they support migration to SimCorp Dimension and Dynamics AX using a central SQL data store, microservices and RESTful interfaces. Their responsibilities also include automated securities reconciliation using IntelliMatch and management of third-party print services for bond security and trade notifications. During their tenure with a Technology Services Company and an IT Services Company, they designed BizTalk integration connecting unsupported IBM iSeries applications with Microsoft server applications for regulatory reporting. That solution also supported real-time reporting-status visibility for technical support teams. Their delivery experience spans SQL, Oracle, DB2, Python, ETL, business intelligence, BPMN, automated workflows and QA, supported by Agile, Scrum, Kanban and Waterfall SDLC practices.

Across architecture, project management and application team leadership roles, they connect technical decisions with operational priorities. Their consulting engagements include integration proposals for a Financial Institution, automation assessments for a Government Corrections Agency and asset management designs for water utility and local government clients. They facilitate requirements workshops, prepare business cases and project proposals, and provide architecture oversight. Mentoring and training experience extends across IT teams, business management and operational staff. Their adaptability is demonstrated through work ranging from interbank payments and AML/CTF compliance to mobile asset tracking, healthcare billing and manufacturing applications. They offer employers a pragmatic combination of architecture depth, cross-industry perspective and collaborative delivery capability.
