Summary

A seasoned Enterprise Solutions Architect specializing in the analysis, design, and visual diagramming of Enterprise human-to-IT asset relationships, software components, API interfaces, data stores, and information flows applied to on-prem and cloud-based systems. I have served in commercial and government (DoD) sectors, collaborating with stakeholders to implement large-scale, transformative digital solutions.

My approach is to apply advanced modeling techniques to produce visual artifacts that accurately reflect complex Enterprise IT scenarios equipping stakeholders with a Common Operational Picture of current and future state architectural scenarios. The result of my approach will enable stakeholders to effectively plan, identify risks, and assess areas that lend themselves to cost-reduction, process improvement, resource consolidation, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) integration.
