Technical Background

Delivering on similar requirements across industries

Multi-tenant, SaaS

The end users of these systems are part of an organization (tenant) with a subscription to the Software-as-a-Service application. Tenant data is sandboxed and role based access is managed by the organization. These systems support plan / feature subscription, UI customization & branding, external integrations, API access and more - all on a tenant by tenant basis.

H. Volume Transaction Processing

Includes "traditional" OLTP systems - highly concurrent, online ACID transaction processing with a relational database and a scalable middle tier - as well as "big data" systems performing asynchronous stream/batch processing with frameworks like Apache Spark.

On Premise to Cloud Native

Developing on-premise systems running on bare metal or on hypervisors like ESXi. Upgrading on-premise systems to be cloud compatible for deployment to hosts like AWS and Heroku. Developing cloud native applications using serverless computing and containerization technologies like Docker and Kubernetes.

Workflow & Human+Machine Collab.

Using tools like BPMN, Amazon SWS and other in-house workflow engines to coordinate people, departments, crowd sourced workers, microservices and artificial intelligence. Workflow driven systems are auditable by default and transparent to business users - the workflow diagram really is "the code".
