·         Backend services accessed through a common API Gateway

·         Java and Spring Boot service layer running on AWS EKS (Kubernetes) with AWS EC2 nodes

·         Database systems including MongoDB, Oracle, SQL Server, and Redis

·         Analyze the functionality, complexity, and interdependencies of existing applications and services.

·         Evaluate the capabilities and limitations of the Appian low-code/no-code platform in relation to our current architecture.

·         Identify components and features that can be easily transitioned to the Appian platform, providing detailed justifications for each recommendation.

·         Highlight aspects of our current system that may not be well-suited for transition to Appian, explaining the technical challenges or limitations involved.

·         Assess potential risks and propose mitigation strategies for the migration process.

·         Collaborate with development teams, architects, and business stakeholders to gather insights and validate findings.

·         Present findings and recommendations to executive leadership, providing clear, actionable insights to guide decision-making.

·         Experience with AWS services, particularly EKS and EC2.

·         Familiarity with various database systems, including MongoDB, Oracle, SQL Server, and Redis.

·         Knowledge of microservices architecture and API Gateway patterns.

·         Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.

 Preferred Qualifications:

·         Certifications in relevant technologies (e.g., AWS, Appian).

·         Knowledge of additional low-code/no-code platforms for comparative analysis.

·         Understanding of industry best practices in application modernization and cloud migration.
