Legacy Middleware: Solid familiarity working with legacy application execution platforms, specifically including IBM WebSphere.
Engineering & Methodologies
DevOps & Automation: Practical experience utilizing DevOps toolkits, writing Shell scripting, and modifying installation scripts.
Agile Delivery: Proven history working within Agile, Scrum, and Lean development environments to handle backlogs and iterative code releases.
Security & Accessibility: Strong track record in vulnerability assessment/resolution and building web portals that comply with AODA regulations and information management principles.
Public Sector Acumen: Prior experience delivering IT services within a structured public sector framework or complex, highly regulated multi-stakeholder environment is highly valued.
