Senior Business Analyst

TCS
Deutsche Bank's flagship GCP cloud migration programme, focused on the strategic migration and replication of Postbank data from the existing mainframe (DB2) to Google Cloud Platform.
Responsible for eliciting requirements from business stakeholders and subject matter experts in the Accounts domain, determining which data fields from existing DB2 tables were required in GCP and how they should be structured — designing business objects for the modern cloud context rather than a simple lift-and-shift replication.
Worked closely with architects and mainframe SMEs to understand existing data structures and relationships on the legacy DB2 platform, using the mainframe as the authoritative source for designing GCP business object definitions and identifying cross-object relationships.
Collaborated with the GCP platform team in Frankfurt to develop API specifications and define pub/sub event architectures for data delivery to GCP; coordinated with offshore development and testing teams based in India responsible for the legacy mainframe integration layer.
Contributed to the design of a unified solution capable of handling both the one-off historical data migration and ongoing real-time replication, addressing significant data volume challenges within tightly constrained migration windows on the legacy platform.
