• Reusable Frameworks: Construct modular, reusable automation components, frameworks, libraries, and custom activities to ensure consistency and speed across developments.
• Integrations & Cloud Architecture: Build integrations using REST APIs, web services, databases, message queues, and enterprise applications. Utilize cloud capabilities across Azure Functions, Logic Apps, Azure DevOps, Key Vault, and related Microsoft cloud services.
• Advanced UiPath Ecosystem: Leverage specialized UiPath features including UiPath Apps, Action Centre, Document Understanding, OCR, AI/ML, and Integration Service.
• DevOps & Release Management: Implement CI/CD pipelines, source control, automated deployments, and release-management best practices.
• Quality Assurance & Code Review: Conduct peer code reviews, maintain strict compliance with coding and security standards, and lead end-to-end testing across UI, API, integration, regression, and automated test scenarios.
• Operational Maintenance & Monitoring: Implement robust logging, exception handling, monitoring, alerting, and operational reporting. Manage production defects, hot fixes, change requests, enhancements, and performance optimizations.
• Governance & SDLC Compliance: Ensure complete alignment with SDLC protocols, IT Change Management guidelines, security policies, and release management standards.
