Our Expertise
AltXDigital specializes in cloud-native data integration, enterprise architecture, and digital transformation for highly regulated industries. We architect solutions that are platform-agnostic, scalable, and built to meet the demands of modern financial services.
Event-Driven Data Integration
We design and implement real-time data integration architectures that unify disparate systems through event streaming and modern data lakehouse patterns. Our approach ensures data consistency, auditability, and governance across complex enterprise landscapes.
Example: For a multinational banking organization, we architected a row-level event ingestion system processing millions of daily transactions from multiple source systems. Using event streaming platforms and modern table formats, we maintained a unified, queryable view across a complex banking ecosystem spanning core banking, payments, and customer relationship systems. The solution handles schema evolution gracefully while preserving full audit trails required for regulatory compliance.
- Apache Iceberg and Delta Lake table architectures
- Kafka, Azure EventHub, and AWS Kinesis integration
- Avro and JSON schema management
- Real-time and batch processing orchestration
- Data quality validation and reconciliation
- Change Data Capture (CDC) implementation
AWS & Azure Cloud Platform Administration
Comprehensive AWS account administration and platform engineering with deep expertise in multi-account governance, security compliance, and operational management. We provide hands-on administration of AWS and Azure environments, implementing infrastructure-as-code solutions that meet stringent regulatory and security standards while maintaining operational efficiency.
Example: Served as primary AWS platform administrator for a financial services organization, managing a multi-account AWS environment using AWS Organizations, Control Tower, and Landing Zone patterns. Administered day-to-day operations including user access management via IAM and SSO, billing and cost allocation across departments, security group and network ACL configuration, and CloudWatch monitoring and alerting. Implemented automated security controls including Service Control Policies (SCPs), IAM policies, Config rules, and resource tagging strategies across all accounts. Managed three infrastructure repositories and over a dozen application repositories using Terraform Enterprise, enabling consistent deployments across dev, test, and production environments while maintaining security boundaries and regulatory requirements. Administered billing dashboards, implemented comprehensive cost allocation tagging, configured budget alerts, and provided right-sizing recommendations that reduced monthly cloud spend by 30% while improving compliance with PCI-DSS and SOC 2 security standards. Also administered Azure Active Directory, Azure subscriptions, and resource groups as needed for hybrid cloud workloads.

- Terraform and CloudFormation IaC development
- Cost optimization, tagging strategy, and FinOps practices
- Serverless and container orchestration
- CI/CD pipeline implementation
Data Lakehouse Design & Implementation
End-to-end design and implementation of modern data lakehouse architectures that unify data lakes and data warehouses. We build production-grade data pipelines that transform, enrich, and deliver data across enterprise platforms with resilient, monitored workflows.
Example: Designed and implemented a complete data lakehouse architecture for a financial services organization, leveraging open table formats to provide ACID transactions, schema evolution, and time travel capabilities. Developed reusable PySpark transformations running on serverless compute clusters to flatten deeply nested, complex JSON structures from multiple source systems. These transformations maintained dozens of dimensional and fact tables through common, reusable code patterns.
Built robust ETL pipelines via AWS Step Functions, leveraging Apache Iceberg snapshots and schema evolution to produce data feeds into Salesforce CRM. The solution supported both Salesforce Bulk API v1.0 and v2.0, enabling efficient loading of large data volumes while maintaining data lineage and quality controls. The integration included automated data validation, error handling, and reconciliation processes to ensure data integrity between the lakehouse and Salesforce.
The lakehouse architecture provided a unified analytics platform serving both operational reporting and advanced analytics workloads, while seamlessly feeding downstream systems like Salesforce for operational use.
- Data lakehouse architecture design and implementation
- Apache Iceberg and Delta Lake table management
- PySpark, Spark SQL, and distributed processing
- Workflow orchestration (Step Functions, Airflow, Azure Data Factory)
- Salesforce integration (Bulk API v1.0/v2.0, REST API)
- API integration (REST, Bulk APIs, GraphQL)
- Complex data transformation and enrichment
- Incremental and full refresh patterns
- Monitoring, alerting, and data observability
Digital Banking & FinTech Integration
Hands-on integration of modern banking platforms with cloud infrastructure, payment processors, and regulatory systems. We bridge the gap between innovative SaaS banking solutions and established enterprise systems.
Example: Led integration of a cloud-native banking platform with currency exchange services, payment orchestration, and money market fund providers for a European digital bank. The solution enabled automated deposit sweeping and redemption workflows with same-day settlement (T+0), processing thousands of daily transactions. Integrated identity providers for strong customer authentication and coordinated third-party integrators to ensure PSD2 compliance across all payment flows.
- Core banking system integration (Mambu, Temenos, nCino)
- Payment gateway and processor connectivity
- Account aggregation and data enrichment (Salt Edge)
- Treasury and liquidity management systems
- Open Banking and PSD2 implementation
- KYC/AML workflow automation
- Real-time balance and transaction processing
Enterprise Architecture & Transformation
Strategic guidance and hands-on implementation for organizations transitioning to modern cloud and SaaS architectures. We work with leadership and technical teams to define roadmaps and execute on digital transformation initiatives.
Example: Advised an offshore banking institution on its multi-year digital transformation journey, enabling adoption of cloud services within a highly regulated jurisdiction. Delivered migration to a global collaboration platform, designed a hub-and-spoke architecture for SaaS application integration, and established patterns for secure, compliant cloud adoption. Integrated multiple platforms including CRM, core banking, and cloud services through a unified integration layer, reducing operational complexity while improving data flow and auditability.
- Technology strategy and roadmap development
- Platform evaluation and vendor selection
- Hub-and-spoke integration architecture
- Legacy system modernization
- Cloud migration planning and execution
- Organizational change management
Regulatory Compliance & Governance
Deep understanding of financial services regulations and how to implement technical controls that satisfy regulatory requirements without sacrificing agility or innovation. We architect compliant solutions across both AWS and Azure cloud platforms.
Example: Designed and implemented PSD2-compliant authentication and payment flows for a digital banking platform operating in multiple EU jurisdictions. Solution included SaaS identity provider integration for strong customer authentication, secure API design with proper consent management, and comprehensive audit logging. Worked closely with compliance teams and regulators to ensure technical implementation met regulatory expectations while maintaining excellent user experience.
Built secure, compliant data processing pipelines on Azure using serverless architecture patterns: API Management Gateway for secure API exposure → Logic Apps for workflow orchestration → Queue Storage for reliable message buffering → Azure Functions for scalable processing → Blob Storage and Table Storage for persistent data storage. This architecture ensured data residency compliance, provided complete audit trails, and maintained separation of concerns required for regulatory controls.
