Project Executive Scope
A multi-country, mission-critical RTGS contingency payment gateway infrastructure programme delivering regulatory-compliant connectivity for the National Bank of Romania (ReGIS) and the Bank of Zambia (ZIPPS). The project delivered dual-mode contingency architecture integrating SWIFT (primary) and VPN (contingency) connectivity with country-specific security strategies: fully automated HSM-based signing for Romania and a hybrid token-based manual architecture for Zambia.
Technical stack: Montran Gateway Platform, MQ (MQ Client, Channels, Binding Files), Flexcube (Payment Hub), VolPay (MT/MX transformation), ISSAC (routing), Nimbus, HSM (Hardware Security Module), Java Webstart, Project Tracking System.
Role Executive Description
Senior Project & Service Delivery Manager, End-to-End Ownership. Led the complete project lifecycle from discovery and regulatory engagement through architecture design, integration, UAT with Central Bank participants, deployment to production, and operational readiness in 3 simultaneous environments (PROD, UAT, COB). Managed country-specific technical strategies, governed alignment with Central Bank requirements, and delivered 100% project completion by the December 15, 2023 deadline.
Deliverables
Orchestrated a dual-mode contingency architecture ensuring uninterrupted payment processing during SWIFT outage scenarios, by integrating MQ-based message routing (Flexcube / VolPay / ISSAC) with VPN connectivity layers and managing 3 simultaneous environments (PROD, UAT, COB) in both jurisdictions.
Governed alignment with Central Bank regulatory requirements across two independent jurisdictions, ensuring successful production connectivity in both countries, by designing country-specific security strategies: HSM automated signing for Country A (ReGIS) and hybrid token-based contingency operations for Country B (ZIPPS).
Spearheaded the end-to-end deployment of a multi-country RTGS contingency payment gateway across Country A and Country B, achieving 100% project completion by the December 2023 regulatory deadline, by directing the full lifecycle from discovery through regulatory engagement, architecture validation, and production go-live.
Directed cross-functional teams of infrastructure engineers, MQ specialists, and Payments SMEs to deliver mission-critical financial infrastructure by applying project governance and iterative UAT cycles with Central Bank participants to mitigate risks from evolving regulatory documentation.
