Chris Porell Email & Phone Number

I am a highly motivated Solutions Architect with extensive experience in the design and deployment of complex solutions. I emphasize agility, simplicity, transparency, and ease of management in everything I do, as this translates to a lasting, positive customer experience. My background includes cloud, network, application, security, and datacenter technologies as well as software development, and has given me immense breadth and depth of knowledge to draw upon while solving customers’ business challenges. In my latest role as a Principal Solutions Architect at AT&T, I have helped hundreds of customers solve their technical challenges in several industries including transportation, finance, engineering, and healthcare. I drove the evolution of our cloud network services by anticipating the explosive adoption of cloud and assisting our product teams to make our managed service offerings “cloud ready”, ahead of customer demand. I pioneered the expansion of our managed SD-WAN service by developing a standardized solution to extend their reach into a customer’s cloud networks. I have advised customers on best-practice approach to implementing a hybrid multi-cloud network using a reference architecture that combines private, software-defined networking and virtualized network functions at the network edge. As our team’s subject matter expert on IoT design, I have collaborated with AT&T’s IoT consultants and Solution Engineers on several designs from regional healthcare data analytics to large multi-national asset tracking systems. My designs have been implemented by many Fortune 500 companies.I’m a continuous learner, and I enthusiastically share what I know with others. Because of this, I am a highly effective collaborator and communicator. I truly enjoy working with my colleagues, customers, and technology partners as we strive to deliver solutions that provide value.
