Principal strategic and cloud architect for defining and delivering Disney's first private cloud architecture targeted at dramatically improving time to market, developer productivity, and infrastructure cost. The architecture included four legs: a PaaS optimized for reliably promoting code from development to production, a data management platform providing NOSQL and traditional storage mechanisms along with logging and data pipelines combined with data discovery and Big Data analytics, Edge technologies for api management and other services to offload operations and developers from those concerns, and a self-service portal to take provisioning time down from something unseemly to less than an hour for a web-facing production application.
