I’m an enterprise architect and full-stack technology leader with 20+ years of engineering experience and 10+ years focused on architecture leadership. I design end-to-end solutions across web, mobile, cloud-native platforms, data systems, integrations, and AI—using clear current-state/target-state thinking, strong governance, and practical transition roadmaps that teams can execute. Over my career, I’ve led globally distributed transformation programs for large enterprises, staying hands-on in solution design, technical reviews, performance engineering, accessibility, production readiness, and observability. I bring deep expertise across cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP), microservices and event-driven architecture, data lakehouse/Customer 360 patterns, and GenAI capabilities (RAG, semantic search, and agentic workflows) with security and responsible-AI guardrails built in.
