Summary
Vishal Kumar is a seasoned Software Architect and TOGAF/Archimate-certified enterprise architect with over a decade of experience delivering large-scale IT and digital transformation programs across banking, government, and energy sectors in the UAE. He blends hands-on solution and cloud architecture (PaaS/IaaS/SaaS) with practical governance—establishing EA metamodels, EA repositories (Orbus/Mega-Hopex), and demand management—to drive API enablement, data platforms, and secure migrations. Known for leading cross-functional teams (typically 4–15 people) and vendor selections involving Oracle, IBM, Microsoft and regional providers, he has steered major initiatives like ADCB’s AHB/UNB merger and bank-wide API gateway/security rollouts. Vishal’s work often sits at the intersection of architecture and compliance: he routinely supports IT risk & control, internal audit, SOA and application governance while codifying SOPs and ARB/CAB processes. He pairs technical depth (middleware, ESB, data lake/warehouse, PowerBI-based EA dashboards) with consultancy experience from Orbus, helping organizations operationalize EA practices. A practical implementer rather than a theoretician, he focuses on measurable quality and onboarding teams to make architecture usable and repeatable.
