Michael Abobade

I’m a results-driven Head of Engineering and enterprise technology leader with 20+ years designing, building, integrating, modernizing, and leading mission-critical platforms in banking, fintech, and payments. I combine hands-on software engineering depth in Java/JEE, C#, TypeScript, Node.js, and middleware technologies with strong engineering governance, architecture, and cross-functional leadership to deliver business-aligned outcomes. In my current role, I lead enterprise engineering across application development, core banking integration, database administration, platform infrastructure, cybersecurity engineering, user support, and AI/data initiatives. I drive API-led integration, release/deployment governance, and DevOps-aligned delivery practices—while spearheading AI-enabled fraud detection (iFraud) and strengthening security operations through SOC and threat hunting capabilities. I also oversee infrastructure modernization and disaster recovery readiness, including cloud DR and backup architecture, to improve resilience, scalability, and secure delivery.
