Program Architect – Data and Integration

Candidate Description

A senior solutions and data architect with over two decades of experience, this professional has spent the last ten years architecting large-scale data platforms and integrations across Australia, Singapore, India and the UK. Adept at translating complex business goals into scalable Azure, AWS and GCP solutions, they bring deep financial-services knowledge gained at organisations such as a Major Bank and a Financial Institution. Their breadth covers payments, retail banking, superannuation, regulatory compliance and treasury operations, underpinned by a strong engineering background and a passion for data-driven transformation.

Demonstrating advanced technical acumen, they have architected real-time Lambda patterns, medallion-style data lakes and cloud migrations involving technologies such as Azure Synapse, Databricks, Snowflake and Kafka. Key achievements include a 15-minute cash-ladder insight pipeline that unlocked AUD 8 M in monthly optimisation, consolidation of three warehouse platforms into one to cut annual costs by AUD 1 M, and shift-left data-quality automation that averted AUD 10 M in regulatory fines. Skilled in Agile and SAFe delivery, they routinely define enterprise data strategies, establish integration patterns and champion data-governance best practice.

Combining leadership with hands-on expertise, they mentor cross-functional squads, foster engineering-led cultures and engage C-level stakeholders to drive consensus. Their adaptability is evident in successful engagements across banking, consulting, FMCG and logistics sectors, consistently delivering secure, governed and value-centric data capabilities. This blend of strategic vision, technical depth and collaborative mindset positions them as a high-impact architect capable of accelerating any organisation s data and digital ambitions.
