I lead the architecture of the Enterprise Suite of SaaS services within the Utilities Global Business Unit. This SaaS suite recomposes the features and functions of large on-premise Java-based offerings to run on shared Kubernetes clusters supported by a cloud native control plane and observability tools:• Millions of lines of on-premise Java code backed by thousands of tables and exposed via thousands of customer-extensible REST and browser UI services.• Existing code replatformed onto a modern Java-based chassis and combined with additional microservices for a modern runtime.• Fully automated control plane which converges customers’ environments to desired code versions and configurations.• Advanced observability including metrics, alerting, distributed tracing, continuous profiling and much else which.Four years ago, I pitched the architectural concept and have guided its implementation into a growing SaaS suite with live utility customers relying on its services for their core business functions. I am a member of Oracle's Product Architects Community that evangelizes technology adoption within product groups and I also review university research grant proposals. I've been with Oracle and SPL Worldgroup (acquired) for 26 years this summer. Previous to my cloud role I led a team that built a COBOL-to-Java translator that removed 1% of the world's COBOL, ran the development of the Mobile Workforce Management and Oracle Realtime Scheduler products, managed the framework integration team, was a consulting project manager and functional/technical architect and was an original designer of the software that became Oracle's Customer Care and Billing product as well as three other products forked from that code-line.Specialties: cloud, SaaS, mobile applications, java, enterprise application development, mobile workforce, optimization, utilities
