As an API Architect at AXA en France, I focus on designing and governing API architectures for transforming legacy mainframe systems into modern event-driven ecosystems, specifically within the Insurance industry. With over 10 years of experience in API and product architectural design, I collaborate closely with development teams, product owners, and solution architects to align technical solutions with business objectives while enhancing customer experiences. My career spans roles in API design and development within the insurance and travel industries, including impactful contributions to the development of web applications, such as policy management systems and other insurance digital platforms. Leveraging expertise in insurance and event-driven programming, I aim to support the digital transformation of large caps within the bank & insurance sectors.
