Experience

1. Software Product Architect

   Ks2 Technologies

   Aug 2022 — Present

   As a Software Product Architect, I contribute to software product roadmaps, develop and document software products\' technology architecture, and manage software product quality, performance, scalability, and availability. One of my notable achievements is migrating HomeSalesOne, an AngularJS/Node application, from IBM Cloud Foundry to IBM Code Engine by converting the code base to leverage Docker and deploying via IBM Tekton CI/CD Pipeline. This migration results in a more efficient and streamlined process for deploying the application. In addition to managing software product quality, I ensure that the software products are aligned with the company\'s overall strategy and goals. I collaborate with cross-functional teams, including developers, designers, and stakeholders, to ensure that the software products meet business requirements and customer needs. I play a crucial role in the success of the company\'s software products, from ideation to development to launch, by ensuring they are of high quality, meet customer needs, and align with the company\'s goals.
