Engineering Manager & Technical Lead — Integrations & Platform

Carlinville, IL

217-710-5068

Summary

Engineering manager and hands-on technical lead with 16+ years building and modernizing enterprise software, currently leading integration delivery for Anheuser-Busch's North America SAP S/4HANA program. Takes legacy systems to cloud-native platforms, sets engineering standards that scale across globally distributed teams, and grows engineers into leads — from a React rebuild shipped to all 12 U.S. macrobreweries to a 10+ integration portfolio, plus AI-assisted spec-to-code delivery tooling. Comfortable owning architecture, delivery, and people.

Experience

Anheuser-Busch InBev

Jul 2022 – Present

St. Louis, MO

Zone Integrations Lead, SAP Aurora Program (Engineering Manager)

Feb 2026 – Present

Lead integration delivery for the SAP Canada rollout within Anheuser-Busch's North America SAP S/4HANA program (Aurora) — owning the technical scope end to end: integration architecture, interface and data-contract design, and the build/deploy runtime across the portfolio.
Built AI-assisted planning tooling — custom skills and agent-driven workflows — that converts sprawling, ambiguous SAP requirements into structured specs and Azure DevOps work items, compressing the requirements-to-backlog loop.
Lead engineering across 10+ concurrent integrations connecting SAP S/4HANA to Salesforce, SAP ECC, and internal brewing data platforms.
Coordinate across global SAP blueprint teams, regional business stakeholders, platform engineering, and vendor delivery partners — defining data contracts and resolving cross-team scope disputes to unblock stalled epics.
Architected the program's major integration workstreams: a Salesforce ↔ SAP procurement bridge, an S/4 → legacy ECC work-order bridge, and a multi-consumer Stock Transfer Order orchestrator feeding six downstream systems.
Built a Camel K CI/CD pipeline (GitHub Actions, Kustomize, Argo CD GitOps) that decoupled build from deploy and became the regional deployment blueprint for every new integration.
Authored architecture decision records and ran an internal hackathon — turning one-off decisions into repeatable standards and lasting team capability.

Sub-Guild Lead, Integrations & Adapters (Engineering Manager)

Mar 2024 – Feb 2026

Named a Top Performer for 2025 achievements leading the integration practice, recognized in the company's early-2026 reward cycle.
Led a globally distributed engineering team across Germany, Florida, and Brazil; developed the careers of several direct reports, including promoting one into a senior role.
Stepped up to lead the Integrations & Adapters sub-guild — the region's backend-services and integration guild — and built it into a standing integration practice.
Delivered the team's roadmap ahead of schedule and redeployed that capacity to rescue at-risk projects across the region — stepping in to lead frontend development directly and bring stalled work back on target.
Instrumented services with OpenTelemetry into Datadog and established a distributed-tracing standard across .NET, TypeScript, and Python runtimes, catching performance issues before they reached users.

Tech Lead, Supply App Modernization (Engineering Manager)

Mar 2023 – Mar 2024

Stepped into the technical lead role on a clean handoff when the previous lead transitioned, taking on a globally distributed, cross-functional team of consultants and full-time Anheuser-Busch employees — developers and non-developers across time zones — and keeping it cohesive and shipping.
Owned the database design, API architecture, and service contracts for the brewery-floor modernization portfolio (.NET/C#, CQRS via MediatR, PostgreSQL) on Azure Container Apps behind Azure API Management.
Led the rebuild of Brewing Recipes from a legacy VB6/Oracle application into a cloud-native PostgreSQL + .NET + React platform; launched across all 12 U.S. macrobreweries, standardizing recipe operations nationally and earning a +89 user-satisfaction score in post-launch adoption surveys.
Established testing standards (Jest + React Testing Library for UI unit tests, Playwright for end-to-end, k6 for API end-to-end tests) and engineering patterns adopted as team defaults — vertical-slice APIs and OpenAPI code generation.
Built monitoring into the development process and sprint rituals as a proactive quality practice, catching issues before users reported them.
Stayed hands-on as a working lead — contributing code and reviewing across 250+ PRs while mentoring the team.

Senior Software Engineer, NAZ TechOps Engineering

Jul 2022 – Mar 2023

Built complex React/TypeScript frontends leveraging ag-Grid to drive intricate data-processing workflows wired to an event-driven backend; rebuilt the enterprise pricing-management experience and unblocked a multi-year feature backlog the legacy app couldn't support.
Set the complex-grid standard later adopted across the NAZ engineering org.
Established the React microfrontend monorepo and shared component foundation that let the Supply Apps modernization team ship new applications rapidly on a consistent UI.
Shipped an internationalized, multi-zone "Brewing Specials" React platform (Azure AD/MSAL role-based access, feature flags, search, translations) replacing legacy special-brew workflows.

Dometic Marine (formerly SeaStar Solutions)

Senior Full Stack Engineer

Jul 2021 – Jul 2022

Litchfield, IL

Architected and built the company's first direct-to-consumer commerce platform (Dynamics 365 + Episerver/Optimizely), integrating it through Dell Boomi to the legacy ERP and warehousing systems for end-to-end fulfillment.
Built an embeddable React/ParcelJS parts finder that retail customers could customize and drop into their own sites.

LRS Web Solutions

Application Developer

Mar 2018 – Jul 2021

Springfield, IL

Owned the end-to-end design and build of a large recycling plant's operational systems — purchase-order, finished-goods sales, and warehouse-operations modules integrated with the existing accounting system — to streamline production.
Designed and built a customer-facing loan-payment platform for a regional bank and online payment portals for enterprise clients — customer-facing payment systems in production.
Led the replacement of a legacy database system for a statewide organization, and owned ongoing development of LRS's proprietary CMS.

SeaStar Solutions

Software Engineer & .NET Team Lead

Oct 2014 – Mar 2018

Designed and built a next-generation warehouse management system from the ground up, guiding pickers along an optimized pick path in a new random-stow warehouse.
Rebuilt and launched a customer loyalty program from nothing after the previous vendor abruptly went out of business.
Built a customer-facing web app helping customers worldwide look up marine parts and engines across manufacturers, plus a product CMS powering print catalogs and online lookup tools.
Implemented a multi-location SAML SSO intranet, tuned SQL Server to resolve concurrency in the high-volume WMS, and hardened web infrastructure with reverse proxies and redundancy.

Resume & Portfolio Platformgithub.com/akluthe/open-portfolio

An intentionally over-engineered, open-source resume CMS built as a portfolio piece to demonstrate full-stack and platform engineering.

.NET 9 Minimal API + Next.js/TypeScript + PostgreSQL + Clerk auth, in a monorepo with feature flags and CI.
Master work-history content with a per-role tailoring layer, a live shareable URL, and Typst → PDF export.
Built largely through AI-assisted, agent-driven development (plan → spec → code) — a hands-on testbed for the same workflow I apply to enterprise delivery.
