In my first 2 years back with Treehouse Software, I've been serving as the team's Director of Innovation and Cloud Solutions Architect. Besides managing the company's hybrid cloud infrastructure (our accounts with the leading cloud vendors), it falls to me to continually track and make sense of the new and ever-changing cloud offerings coming onto the market. I've been keeping up-to-date not only on potential target databases and datastores, but also the pipelines, toolsets, services, and APIs available to creatively extend our reach and capabilities in the overall mainframe-to-cloud data migration realm.Among my most recent endeavors:• Designed, developed, & documented a “data flow toolkit”: a Lambda-based package which includes advanced crawler functions to derive structured Redshift, Snowflake, & Athena tables/views for access to complex hierarchical JSON-formatted data. Delivered to customers via CloudFormation & Lambda Layers.• Designed, developed, & documented a CloudFormation-based “Getting Started Guide” infrastructure which automatically creates a fully configured VPC and all required resources (IAM, EC2, RDS, MSK, Lambda, etc.), to allow prospective customers to quickly install and do hands-on assessment of Treehouse’s flagship mainframe-to-cloud data-migration product within an AWS VPC context (all components built in full adherence to AWS Well-Architected Framework standards).• Architected an AWS-based, multi-AZ "High Availability Framework" for Treehouse's flagship data-migration product (utilizing Step & Lambda Functions, Route 53, EventBridge, etc.) and installed at customer sites.• Built microservice-based pipelines to consume streaming data from Kafka, Kinesis, EventHubs, and Confluent Cloud, targeting JSON-friendly, cloud-native datastores like DynamoDB, CosmosDB, Snowflake, & Redshift.• Managed the company's hybrid cloud infrastructure, including accounts with AWS, Azure, Confluent, and Snowflake.
