Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSantosh Aherkar is a senior solutions architect with 18+ years in IT and a decade focused on designing and delivering cloud-native microservices across IBM Cloud, AWS, OpenShift, and Azure. He has led and contributed to large-scale API and microservices programs for clients in banking, telecom, energy, healthcare and HCM, including driving an enterprise API framework targeted at hundreds of APIs for ATB. Comfortable as both an individual contributor and team lead, he blends hands-on Spring Boot/DevOps implementation with architecture, governance and release-quality practices like SonarQube-driven code quality and API naming/versioning standards. His career at IBM honed cross-functional delivery skills—onsite client leadership, offshore team direction, and CI/CD automation using Docker, Kubernetes and Jenkins. Now based in Old Toronto and currently at Dayforce, he favors pragmatic, systematic solutions that are deliberately different and easy to operate. An engineer who values simplicity, he pairs deep legacy Java experience with modern cloud-native patterns to help organizations modernize reliably.
