Enterprise Architect · Application & Integration Architecture · Azure

Enterprise architect with 17+ years of experience in software. Most recently, I spent 7 years as Enterprise Architect at Forrest T. Jones, responsible for application and integration systems. I connect business goals to a technology roadmap: I plan cloud migrations, retire monoliths, set platform standards for APIs, security and delivery. I cut license costs by providing the architecture and data model conversion for the provider migration from GIAS to CalcFocus.
