*"I’m Anand Nerurkar, with 21 years in IT across software engineering, enterprise architecture, and technology leadership, with a strong focus on digital transformation, cloud, and AI-driven solutions.

Over the last decade as an Enterprise Architect in BFSI, I’ve led large modernization programs—digital lending, payments automation, mutual fund platforms, and core banking. My approach ensures security, compliance, scalability, and cost optimization by applying well-architected cloud frameworks.

For example, I used CAST and VFunction for application inventory and dependency analysis, then defined wave-wise cloud migration roadmaps for 100+ applications using scaled agile pods. Key highlights include:

• Transforming legacy J2EE/monoliths into microservices with DDD, deployed on Azure.

• Migrating Oracle DBs to PostgreSQL on Azure using DMS, and re-engineering PL/SQL packages into event-driven microservices.

• Implementing DevOps and DevSecOps pipelines, which improved efficiency—30% cost savings, 45% downtime reduction, and 40% fewer incidents.

I’m hands-on with architecture and design, including Azure services like AKS, APIM, VNet, Istio, Traffic Manager, Front Door, App Gateway, Firewall, and ExpressRoute. Beyond tech, I work with senior leadership to align IT strategy with business, define standards, and drive execution.
