Own the design and implementation of DISP Orchestration APIs using the Backend-for-Frontend pattern to support new web and mobile experiences.
Build and evolve RESTful APIs and integration services using.NET Core, Azure Functions, and cloud-native Azure services.
Lead complex integrations between modern digital platforms and legacy systems (e.g., Telus Health pension administration).
Design integration layers that decouple digital channels from core systems, allowing front-end teams to move independently without over-coupling to backend constraints.
Design secure, token-based API interactions using JWT, OAuth/OIDC patterns, managed identity, Key Vault, private endpoints, and least-privilege access controls.
Guide API versioning, contract stability, schema evolution, backward compatibility, and deprecation practices across squads and releases.
Create API designs that align to UX needs, frontend state requirements, error handling, performance expectations, and member experience outcomes rather than simply exposing backend system structures.
Design and maintain integration flows where writes may trigger downstream workflows, audits, status tracking, reconciliation, and eventual consistency across systems.
Implement caching and read-model strategies using Redis, materialized views or projections, or equivalent patterns to improve performance and reduce load on legacy platforms.
Ensure high-quality, secure code through reviews, automated testing, and CI/CD practices.
Lead the resolution of complex production issues across API, identity, and system boundaries
