I am responsible for providing solution architecture and technical assistance for a migration initiative aimed at transitioning to a new core banking system. This project involves replacing our outdated in-house development with a commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) core banking system, which is developed and operated by a vendor as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) on the AWS platform. My duties encompass solution design, technical coordination, supporting development teams, and providing IT support and troubleshooting.
Additionally, a significant aspect of my role involves managing over 10 vendors and partners, which is crucial to the project's success.
