    As the leader of the Strategic Growth software engineering domain at Vizient leading 9 teams ranging from Annual Updates to our new Next Generation product development teams I was responsible for a teams and products on both the software and infrastructure side that accounted for over $90M in annual revenue with an annual development and infrastructure spend of over $11M. As part of this role, we reduced annual infrastructure spend by approximately $2M in Azure costs while still building new capabilities and increasing the performance of our products. The Next Generation product architecture focused on bringing a platform approach while decoupling all the products from the old .Net monolith that had been built previously. Using Angular, .Net and Databricks along with Azure native services including Application Services, Messaging, Functions and SQL Server, we created a platform with capabilities that decreased query and processing times for our analytics from weeks to hours and allow our customers to also receive Data as a Service through API’s as well as larger data download capabilities such as parquet files shared in Azure. We also created the prototype processes to utilize both ChatGPT and Databricks AI capabilities to access our intelligence documentation and data within our platform.
