Enterprise Architect | Solution Architect | AI & Cloud Transformation Leader I thrive at the intersection of technology, strategy, and execution, helping organizations modernize IT ecosystems, accelerate cloud adoption, and harness AI-driven innovation. With over 20 years of experience, I’ve led large-scale digital transformations for federal agencies, healthcare, financial institutions, and Fortune 500 companies, driving efficiency, security, and business agility. I specialize in modernizing legacy systems, integrating AI/ML, cloud-native architectures (AWS, Azure, GCP), and enterprise governance to future-proof organizations. Whether it's orchestrating cloud migrations, optimizing big data pipelines, or enhancing security with Zero Trust & DevSecOps, I ensure technology investments align with business strategy to maximize impact. Key Focus Areas: Cloud & Digital Transformation – Migrating legacy applications to multi-cloud, microservices, & serverless architectures. Enterprise & Solution Architecture – Driving technology roadmaps, governance frameworks, and Architecture Review Boards (ARBs). AI/ML & Data Engineering – Building AI-powered data platforms, integrating LLMs, RAG, and predictive analytics for real-time insights. Cybersecurity & Compliance – Implementing Zero Trust, IAM, FedRAMP, SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and AI-driven security automation. Enterprise Integration & Middleware Modernization – Transitioning legacy Oracle Fusion, IBM WebSphere, and WebLogic platforms to cloud-native environments. Agile & DevSecOps – Leading CI/CD automation, Kubernetes, Terraform, ITIL, and SAFe Agile transformations. Notable Impact: Led digital transformation initiatives for USDOT, USPS, USPTO, SEC, DOJ, Treasury, FDA, PNC Bank, Freddie Mac, CVS/Aetna, Pfizer, Nike, XM/Sirius. Optimized IT ecosystems, reducing costs by 30% and boosting performance by 300%. Integrated AI-driven solutions for fraud detection, customer insights, and real-time automation. Migrated enterprise middleware platforms (Oracle Fusion, WebSphere) to secure cloud architectures. Established Centers of Excellence (CoEs) and ARBs to enforce governance and drive innovation. Achieved $2M+ in cost savings for USDOT by implementing an accelerated modernization strategy that optimized resources and streamlined enterprise architecture. Passionate about leveraging technology to create real impact, I’m always open to discussing how AI, cloud, and enterprise architecture can accelerate business transformation.
