• Akamai Integration & Routing: Coordinate to integrate Apigee with Akamai for external traffic, configuring virtual hosts behind WAF to ensure global routing efficiency and DDoS protection.
• System Architecture & Performance: Monitor health of components (Edge Routers, Cassandra, Zookeeper) and tune the system. Lead capacity planning and root-cause analysis for high availability.
• Apigee Hybrid Migration: Spearhead migration from Apigee Edge to Apigee Hybrid/X on Kubernetes or hybrid cloud environments. Develop deployment plans, configure management/runtime planes in clusters, and integrate with CI/CD pipelines.
• Collaboration & Governance: Work with backend consumer teams and security architects. Define governance standards for API documentation, design patterns (OpenAPI/Swagger), and access control to streamline development across teams.
