Profile bio

About Bill Draven

If you are looking to leverage your api investment through the use of an API gateway I can help. Not sure why you could benefit from an API gateway or need help deciding which one best suits your needs? I can help. Already purchased a gateway and don't know where to start? I can help. While I have spent the last two decades wrangling buses and gateways from various vendors I have most recently focused on Apigee as I believe it is best in class with regard to the modern definition of an api gateway. Additionally, I have a rather large set of ready to deploy assets and associated training that can be leveraged independently or as an assembled configurable framework. A ideal engagement would be a relatively short term, very focused set of workshops/deliverables focused on the due diligence required to ensure the best gateway decisions are made either in terms of pre purchase "Fit" (current state, vendor evaluations, prototypes) and/or post purchase "Finish" (POCs, Design/Configure/Build) with the end goal of self sufficiency with confidence post engagement. A few more details about my career thus far. 30 years of experience solving problems through the practical use of technology as a strategist, architect, developer, instructor and evangelist. Over the last 18 years he has focused on the integration of disparate on-prem, hybrid and cloud solutions in various broad level capacities including Enterprise/Solution/Application architect and tactical roles as Integration/SOA/Gateway Architect and Developer. Bill has significant experience developing and presenting complex concepts to varied audiences including developers, architects, communities of practice, technology/vendor advisory boards and all levels of management through whitepapers, presentations and formal classroom training.Former Apigee Workshop Clients:Geisinger, Arkansas Blue Cross Blue Shield, Ulta, Schnucks, PNC Bank, Payments Canada, Kaiser Stub Hub. Former Oracle Api Gateway, Axway, CA Api Gateway Clients: California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), McGraw-Hill Financial (Standard and Poor's), Great West Financial, Persistent Systems, Intelligrated, US Foods.
