Shahul Hameed Udhuman
Senior Technical Architect specializing in legacy modernization, cloud and hybrid platforms, and high-reliability enterprise systems. I design API-first, microservices-based architectures, lead complex integrations, and apply AI pragmatically to improve real-world business workflows.
Core Focus Areas
Cloud & Hybrid Platforms
Designing secure, resilient cloud and hybrid platforms across AWS and Azure, with a strong emphasis on scalability, cost efficiency, and operational reliability. Architecting systems that balance cloud-native capabilities with enterprise constraints and long-term maintainability.
Legacy → Modern Architecture
Transforming legacy monolithic systems into modern, API-first and microservices-based architectures. Driving measurable improvements in performance, reliability, and deployment velocity through pragmatic modernization strategies—without disrupting running businesses.
Identity & Security
Building robust identity and access architectures using OAuth2 and OIDC, beyond basic JWT implementations. Designing centralized authentication, authorization, and policy enforcement models aligned with Zero Trust principles and enterprise security standards.
Enterprise Integrations
Enabling seamless multi-platform integrations across complex ecosystems. Experience integrating document collaboration systems (Collabora CODE), billing and invoicing platforms, and external rating, validation, and verification services using secure, well-governed APIs.
Applied AI Systems
Applying AI pragmatically to enterprise platforms—focusing on real operational value rather than hype. Designing and integrating RAG pipelines, vector databases, and localized LLMs to introduce contextual intelligence, automation, and decision support into existing workflows.
Product Architecture & UX Enablement
Integrating architecture, product thinking, and user experience to ensure technical decisions translate into usable, configurable, and scalable products. Driving UX consistency, platform configurability, and developer experience across enterprise systems.
Work History
Technical Head & Senior Technical Architect @ SimpleSolve Technologies (Insurance Platforms)
Leading the architecture and technical direction of SimpleINSPIRE, a multi-tenant P&C insurance core platform. Driving enterprise modernization initiatives by transforming legacy monolithic systems into modular, API-first architectures, improving platform reliability, performance, and scalability while supporting multiple live clients with zero downtime.
Focused on evolving the organization from a project mindset to a product-platform approach, establishing architecture governance, standardizing engineering practices, and mentoring senior engineers into architectural roles. Led complex enterprise integrations including document collaboration (Collabora CODE), billing and invoicing systems, and external rating and verification services. Currently practicing AI enablement on the platform using RAG pipelines, vector databases, and localized LLMs to enhance operational workflows and decision support.
Senior Technical Architect @ SimpleSolve Technologies (Platform & Architecture)
Owned platform-wide architecture standards, security models, and scalability strategies across insurance products. Led modernization of critical subsystems, improving system stability and handling high-volume production workloads.
Spearheaded API-first design, centralized identity using OAuth2/OIDC, and UI/UX standardization through shared component libraries. Actively handled production escalations, performance bottlenecks, and architectural trade-offs while maintaining delivery velocity and system reliability.
Solution Architect & Project Lead @ SimpleSolve Technologies (Modernization Program)
Led the end-to-end modernization of a decade-old ASP.NET Web Forms monolith into a modern microservices + SPA architecture without a big-bang rewrite. Designed core domain services for Policy, Claims, and Billing, enabling configurable insurance workflows across multiple lines of business.
Architected centralized identity and authentication using IdentityServer / OIDC, and implemented a pragmatic database transition strategy that preserved data integrity while enabling service evolution. Worked closely with business stakeholders to align architectural decisions with long-term product goals.
Senior UI/UX Engineer & Team Lead @ Excelencia iTech Consulting
Led full-stack development teams delivering enterprise SaaS and HSE platforms. Acted as Lead Developer for Kuba.no, an enterprise HSE system built on .NET and SQL Server. Focused on bridging UX design and engineering, improving usability, adoption, and delivery consistency across enterprise applications.
Web Developer @ Sam Connect Technologies
Developed dynamic web applications with a strong focus on UI engineering and requirements analysis, building a foundation in enterprise web systems and client-driven development.
