Biography
The future of IT is in the AI innovations in the cloud. ☁️ My overall goal is to enable complex solutions to maximize the benefits and outcomes for organizations. Providing innovative solutions while controlling costs is my passion and highest value.

I am an innovative thought leader that provides organizational leadership focused on taking on challenging initiatives. Actually, I am driven by complex challenges. I am most effective in up front project architecture, strategy, and planning, then leading projects to completion with the delivery teams. I enjoy building both technology strategy and the teams to provide effective results. I am seasoned in breaking down complex solutions and workloads into smaller and more manageable components. I can go on and on about common keywords here like domain driven design, microservices, design patterns, observability, cloud enablement, IaaS, PaaS, IaC, CaC, CI/CD, DevSecOps, automation, Azure, GCP, and AWS. However, the point being is that I have experienced the wrong and right ways to approach large solutions. I know to use what technology, where to use it, and the level of teams to get the job done most effectively. Also, I have learned from project mistakes and failures. I strive to iteratively improve myself, my teams, my projects ,and the organizations that I am working with.
