Collaborate directly with business analysts and clients in iterative, client-facing solution design sessions.
Drive performance tuning, SQL/PLSQL optimization, and security hardening.
Integrate APEX applications with external systems using REST APIs, JSON/XML, and secure data exchange methods.
Utilize and establish standards for modularity, reusability, and maintainability; support code reviews and documentation.
Contribute to OCI (ExaCC) migration efforts as needed and support upgrades, patches, and new feature adoption.
Serve as escalation point for complex production issues, with focus on authentication and security.
Support GitHub-based workflows and GitOps practices to improve automation, code management, and secure deployments.
Promote knowledge transfer within the team as technical subject matter expert and through collaboration.
Implement and maintain SSO authentication/authorization with Entra ID (Azure Active Directory) and OCID.
