About Alfus Inigo Jaganathan
With over 20 years of software development experience, I currently hold the position of Principal Solutions Architect at Broadcom Inc. Within this role, I am part of the VMware Tanzu Division, specifically focusing on Rapid Portfolio Modernization.
Specializing in assisting customers to accelerate their modernization journey, my responsibilities entail a comprehensive exploration of their portfolio, the construction of a roadmap, and the swift implementation of solutions by replatforming applications onto Kubernetes or Cloud Foundry-based platforms.
To facilitate this process, I make extensive use of proprietary automation and scanning tools meticulously honed and crafted by our team, drawing from over a decade of invaluable modernization experience.
In addition to my primary responsibilities, I specialize in the transformation and migration of legacy applications to various platforms, including the Cloud Foundry-based Tanzu Application Service (TAS), Kubernetes-based Tanzu Kubernetes Grid (TKG), and Tanzu Application Platform (TAP), as well as other prominent cloud platforms.
Furthermore, I’ve actively contributed to numerous open-source initiatives, such as ASP.NET re-platforming bootstraps and Cloud Foundry extension buildpacks. You can explore these contributions further on PivotalServicesOss.
My expertise encompasses a wide array of Microsoft technologies including .NET Core, .NET, Web API, MVC, and WCF, alongside proficiency in cloud and container-based technologies such as Cloud Foundry, Kubernetes, and Serverless Functions across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
Being a polyglot programmer, I am skilled in various languages and tools including Spring, Python, Terraform, Terragrunt, Go, TypeScript, Bash, PowerShell, among others.
I specialize in migrating large .NET monolithic applications to cloud-native microservices, utilizing principles such as the 12-factor methodology, microservice patterns, and lean methodologies.
I excel in Agile project management, placing particular emphasis on Test-driven Development (TDD) and Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) practices. Moreover, I’ve played pivotal roles in contributing to critical Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) and responding to Requests for Proposals (RFPs) from clients seeking cloud-based solutions across the organization.
