SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / July 1, 2025 / With nearly two decades of enterprise IT experience, Balkishan Arugula has once again emerged at the forefront of digital innovation. Currently serving as the Senior Technical Architect at Mobiquity Inc. (Hexaware), Arugula is leading the end-to-end backend development for Bank of Bineo's 100% digital onboarding initiative using the Backbase platform, a major step in reshaping the customer banking experience.

Balkishan's leadership spans across geographically distributed teams in the U.S., India, and Mexico, driving full-stack microservices architecture and cloud-native development on AWS and Azure. His expertise in Java, J2EE, microservices, and CI/CD orchestration is at the heart of Bank of Bineo's mobile-first strategy. Leveraging Backbase's out-of-the-box modules like Identity Management, Access Control, and Core Banking Integrations, Arugula has implemented real-time onboarding flows, role-based identity provisioning, and deployment automation to support seamless mobile banking releases across Android and iOS platforms.
"With the digital wave accelerating in financial services, our goal has been to deliver a resilient, secure, and user-centric banking platform. Backbase has been a phenomenal enabler-and this has been one of the most fulfilling projects of my career," Arugula shared during an internal developer forum earlier this month.
This announcement follows Balkishan's recent recognitions, including a Backbase Certification (August 2024) and hands-on delivery of enterprise-grade projects across Medline's eCommerce modernization and Northern Trust's microservices-based data migration. He has been instrumental in designing cost-effective, scalable cloud operations using AWS services like EC2, Lambda, IAM, and DynamoDB, along with Azure's APIM and service bus integrations.
Previously, Balkishan held senior roles at global financial giants including ABSA Bank and Standard Bank in South Africa, where he was responsible for delivering mission-critical APIs, implementing Spring-based middleware, and spearheading DevOps transformations.
In addition to his architectural contributions, Arugula holds certifications from AWS, Oracle, and Microsoft, and brings deep expertise in DevSecOps, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes, ECS), and observability stacks using DataDog, ELK, and Grafana.
