Outcomes:

Successfully transformed and uplifted business capabilities while lowering TCO on over 500+ successful projects and programs. Delivered solutions via strategic leadership roles on programs exceeding $1B+.

Multi-industry strategic roles, from web-startups & advertising-agencies to Fortune 100 global enterprises in Healthcare, Finance, and Insurance. Experience with managing or directing teams of all sizes and roles, from developers to boards.

A transformative enterprise architect with experience in disruptive and innovative technologies as well as monolithic critical enterprise systems.

After several years in software and web development during the 2000s dotcom resurgence, I moved into IT architecture, where I helped deliver hundreds of solutions and platforms, fostered innovation, adopted emerging technologies, challenged disruption, digitally transformed and uplifted entire lines-of-business, and provided Enterprise and Solution Architecture expertise for Fortune 100 companies over a 10-year period.

I am quickly adaptive to new environments with a myriad of multi-domain technology experience. I can communicate with technical engineers as well as business leaders.

I have guided digital transformation through reliable, fast, and pragmatic architecture practices in insurance, healthcare, industrial services, and financial enterprises.

Some Primary Methodologies:

Pragmatic Architecture: Creative sampling of a variety of methodologies: TOGAF, SEI, ITIL, and eSDM; with Lean, Waterfall, and Scaled AGILE (SAFe) to ensure successful delivery with minimal risk. Agnostic-first architecture approaches with an emphasis on adaptability and pivoting.

Respect Before Bravery: Learn together with peers and business to achieve higher quality objectives, with faster-speed-to-market through architecture exercises, modeling, and roadmaps.

Design Thinking for All: Creative approaches to achieve market differentiation and higher quality for customers and members. Design and usability first.
