At Endowance, I've had the great opportunity to flex my talents and help guide the company across a wide range of key initiatives as we modernize our offerings into the cloud and reach for new markets opportunities.To that end, I took on the task of rearchitecting and relaunching the company’s entire cloud infrastructure to establish a strong, security, and nimble foundation for future product offerings. I also streamlined and automated our back-office tools for centralized access management as well as built out our modern Salesforce development processes and tooling.Next, I forged a new AWS-hosted SaaS product offering to enhance the company’s flagship product, Duet360, with a cloud hosted solution of our middleware for our many customers that are increasingly looking for fully managed SaaS solutions.My most recent work has been the most exciting and ambitious to date as architect and project lead of our latest product offering, Duet360 for Industrial IoT, a SaaS integration solution for leveraging modern smart manufacturing data into Salesforce and ERP to empower support, maintenance, and inventory management.

Starting with Live Nation in its earliest days I had the great opportunity to be part of its many revolutionary transitions. From its early startup-like team development, though the riggers of corporate process management and oversight, and as an early advocate and key contributor to the company’s mass cloud migration into AWS, there was never a dull moment in live entertainment.My primary focus of release management and SDLC automation kept me in the center of the action and offered a unique perspective that allowed me to play a technical liaison role. I spearheaded facilitating communication between, and often standing in for, the myriad of interests that must be considered with any project, most especially within a high-profile entity such as Live Nation. In addition, I frequently consulted for projects offering architectural advice and direction.I led cost saving and tuning efforts in AWS directly resulting in an annual savings of over a quarter million dollars.I built a complete automated backup and DR solution for our AWS cloud infrastructure, including reporting and evidence collection for the auditing teams.Designed, tooled, and managed the software development lifecycle processes of dozens of projects powering hundreds of public Live Nation properties and many of its most critical internal business tools.As we began to use more third-party development groups for projects, I took on a more technical ambassador role to facilitate integrating such efforts with our corporate standards for IT, security, and compliance.
