I help organisations design and deliver enterprise integration strategies — bridging platforms, teams, and processes to create seamless digital experiences.
About me
I'm an Integration Architect with deep expertise in cloud-native integration platforms such as Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC), Dell Boomi, Azure Logic Apps and Microsoft Power Automate. My focus is on helping enterprises unlock value from their technology stacks not by locking them into a single vendor, but by designing systems that are flexible, scalable, and genuinely fit for purpose.
I've worked across industries including financial services, mining, higher education, and the public sector, designing integration layers that sit at the heart of digital transformation programmes.
Whether you're migrating from on-premise to the cloud, connecting SaaS applications, or building event-driven architectures from scratch, I bring both the technical depth and the architectural thinking to get it right.
Capabilities
What I do
From strategy to delivery — I work with organisations at every stage of their integration journey.
Define a clear, scalable integration roadmap aligned to your business goals. Platform selection, reference architecture, and governance frameworks.
Design Integrations that are well-documented, secure, and built to last while following integration lifecycle governance and developer experience best practices.
Connect cloud applications across ERP, CRM, HR and more.
Help your organisation navigate platform migrations, legacy modernisation, and complex multi-system transformations with reduced risk and clear delivery milestones.
Independent review of existing integration landscapes — identifying risks, gaps, and opportunities before investment decisions or platform transitions.
Upskill your in-house team with hands-on coaching, pattern libraries, and practical guidance on integration best practices and platform tooling.
How I work
Every project is different but the discipline stays the same.
Understand your current landscape, business objectives, pain points, and constraints. No assumptions.
Produce architecture blueprints, data flow models, and integration patterns tailored to your context.
Hands-on implementation or oversight — ensuring quality, security, and performance are non-negotiable.
Knowledge transfer, documentation, and ongoing support so your team can own and evolve the solution.
Selected work
A selection of integration challenges I've helped organisations navigate. Click any project to see the detail.
The challenge
A national retailer was manually reconciling orders between their legacy Oracle EBS system and a new Shopify storefront. The process was error-prone, slow, and required two full-time staff just to manage data corrections.
What I did
Designed and delivered a real-time integration layer using a cloud iPaaS platform to synchronise product catalogue, inventory levels, and order fulfilment data between EBS and Shopify. Built error handling, alerting, and an operational dashboard for the support team.
Business outcome
Manual reconciliation eliminated entirely. Order processing time reduced from 24 hours to near real-time. Team redeployed to higher-value work. ROI achieved within 4 months of go-live.
The challenge
A regional bank had over 60 point-to-point integrations with no documentation, no versioning, and no ownership model. Every system change risked cascading failures. New digital initiatives were being blocked by integration debt.
What I did
Led an API rationalisation programme — auditing all existing integrations, defining an API governance framework, and implementing an API management platform. Established design standards, a developer portal, and a centre of excellence to sustain it going forward.
Business outcome
Integration incidents dropped by 70% in the first year. New partner onboarding time cut from 6 weeks to 5 days. The bank successfully launched three new digital products on the new API layer within 12 months.
The challenge
A government agency was migrating from an on-premise HR system to Oracle HCM Cloud. The core challenge was maintaining continuity of 14 downstream system integrations — including payroll, access management, and workforce reporting — during and after the transition.
What I did
Architected the integration strategy for the migration, mapping all existing data flows and designing replacement integrations using Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC). Managed a phased cutover approach with parallel-run validation to ensure zero disruption to payroll processing.
Business outcome
Zero payroll disruptions across a workforce of 4,000+ employees. All 14 integrations migrated on schedule. The new integration layer reduced ongoing maintenance effort by 40% compared to the legacy setup.
The challenge
A healthcare provider needed to share patient events (admissions, discharges, referrals) in real time across a network of clinics and specialist providers. Legacy batch file transfers were creating dangerous delays in care coordination.
What I did
Designed and delivered an event-driven integration architecture using a publish-subscribe messaging model. Worked with clinical informatics and IT security teams to ensure HL7-compliant messaging, end-to-end encryption, and full audit logging for regulatory requirements.
Business outcome
Patient event notifications delivered in under 2 seconds vs. up to 4-hour delays previously. Improved care coordination across 8 clinic sites. Audit-ready data lineage met compliance requirements ahead of schedule.

Shaz's ability to translate the technological layer for various audiences — from technical teams to business owners — was a real asset. He was proactive, collaborative, and didn't limit himself to OIC; he extended his skillset across MuleSoft and Talend. I would have no hesitation in hiring Shaz again and can highly recommend him for any role.

Shaz is highly likeable, fresh in his approach, and genuinely eager to deliver great outcomes for both users and the team. His positive attitude and desire to produce quality work make him a joy to work with. You can trust that he will get the work done.
I had the pleasure of working with Shaz for over two years, during which I managed several projects he delivered as a developer.

Shaz has that rare combination of strong technical capability and excellent communication skills. He’s able to translate complex technical concepts into clear, accessible language that clients immediately understand and appreciate. It’s no surprise he was consistently well‑regarded by every client he worked with. Shaz is a likable, well‑spoken professional who brings calm, clarity, and competence to every engagement. Any team would be lucky to have him.
I had the pleasure of working with Shaz, who was my senior, and I can confidently say he is one of the best professionals I have come across. His expertise in Oracle integration is remarkable, and he played a crucial role in helping me navigate complex challenges. Beyond his technical skills, what truly sets Shaz apart is his incredible work ethic and attention to detail. He approaches every task with precision and ensures that nothing is overlooked. His willingness to mentor and support his team members speaks volumes about his leadership and collaborative spirit. Shaz is not just a highly skilled professional but also an amazing person to work with.
During Shaz's time working with me I found him to be a dedicated and skilled worker who had an eye for detail and was always on top of all his work. He has great skill in the Oracle integration cloud space working across many projects to a high standards.
Shaz is a very personable guy with a passion for whatever he does. I would love to work with him again and would recommend him. He is a credit to his family and country.
