Modernization Upgrade planning, codebase cleanup, and production-safe delivery across older enterprise estates.

Migration On-prem to Azure migration planning with operational care around deployment, validation, and cutover.

Reliability Release governance, automation, and runbook maturity to keep delivery predictable and supportable.

Experience Timeline

Enterprise Engineering Foundation Built deep hands-on experience across .NET, SQL Server, and application support in enterprise environments where stability and clear delivery mattered.

Delivery and Modernization Phase Moved into work that combined application delivery with platform upgrades, migration planning, and release reliability improvements.

Leadership and Migration Focus Worked through Azure migration, DevOps uplift, and stakeholder-facing delivery with a stronger emphasis on coordination, risk control, and handover.

Current Direction Focuses on technical lead style work, modernization strategy, and practical technical writing that explains systems in a usable way.

Career Snapshot

I work best where delivery needs to be steady, technical, and visible to stakeholders. My background combines hands-on .NET engineering, platform migration planning, and practical leadership across enterprise teams.

Across the work I’ve done, the recurring pattern is the same: simplify the path, reduce release risk, and make the outcome easier to support after go-live.

Feedbacks

Eugenio Carvalho

Throughout my position as DSP Pharmacist (Automation led dispensing solutions), as Continuous Improvement lead and as a Software Upgrade Manager I had multiple interactions with Anup and his team (around the subject of Masterdata administration and development of the platform that works as a link between various parts of the company).

Anup has consistently been excellent. Very responsive and supportive to any requests for support and genuinely engaged in developing solutions and find out root cause of existent issues.

I hope to continue this professional relation for the foreseeable future

Daniel Campbell CMgr

I've recently moved into a project manager role and one of my first projects was to upgrade a business critical system to bring it back into support. Anup was a key resource in making this happen.

He has a calm approach and is very knowledgeable. Always one to put forward suggestions and feed in to route to live plans and run books. Hes always willing to help and support at critical times, giving good advice to other technical teams which made the project a lot easier to manage and deliver. A true asset to any organisation.

I had the pleasure of working with Anup on a businesscritical upgrade of our core pharmacy system. As the technical SME for the existing .NET application and platform, he brought deep expertise and an impressive ability to think methodically through every aspect of a complex OS upgrade and hybrid onpremise/cloud migration.

What stood out most was Anups calm assurance in the face of complexity. He shares knowledge openly, analyses problems with real depth, and applies engineering changes with precision and care. His presence brings confidence to any transformation programme, and he is exactly the kind of person you want on a team when quality and assurance truly matter.

It was an absolute pleasure working with him.

Ana da Silva

I currently collaborate with Anup, as he serves as a consultant for the company I am employed with. I hold great admiration for Anup's determination in addressing challenges; he approaches every issue with the belief that it can be resolved. He adeptly guides his team while maintaining a positive demeanour. When faced with uncertainties regarding his responsibilities or those of his team, he proactively seeks clarification until he is confident they can meet expectations. His team consistently achieves their objectives.

Anup is receptive to both learning and imparting knowledge to others. As a pharmacist, I have gained significant insights while working alongside him, as he demonstrates patience and provides instruction on the technical details of the inquiries I present. He effectively demystifies coding terminology, enabling me to grasp the underlying principles and mechanisms. Anup exemplifies kindness and patience as a leader, and I observe that his team collaborates effectively under his guidance.
