Marco Abiskhiroon

Enterprise Middleware Architect · Independent Consultant

I'm a hands-on middleware architect with over 15 years delivering IBM MQ, Confluent Kafka, RabbitMQ, and Apache NiFi solutions for Fortune 500 banks, defense agencies, and enterprise firms.

I work exclusively as an independent consultant — which means you get direct access to senior-level expertise, not a junior engineer managed by a project manager. I embed in your environment, deliver working infrastructure, write the documentation, and transfer the knowledge.
