I am a seasoned information technology, software development, and enterprise architecture executive with 25+ years of corporate leadership, process automation, and application/cloud engineering experience in various sectors. Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for leading programs of software development teams to design and build innovative, enterprise-class, distributed, cloud native systems and platforms. I possess a diverse skill set that spans from back-end to front-end, with emphasis on high volume, message-oriented middleware and back-end solutions, and have a history of contributing to company growth throughout my career. Professional focal points include creating strategies and roadmaps to deliver programs that leverage cutting-edge technologies or architectures (heavy cloud focus in recent years). My focus has been on business critical, distributed, highly concurrent, high volume middleware platforms; using technologies and architectures that include EDA, CEP, SOA, EIP, EAI, IMDG, event sourcing, Big Data, and IoT. Currently, I am an Equifax Fellow and VP of Technical Architecture at Equifax, in Alpharetta, Georgia. Under my leadership, I bring focus from perspective of a highly technical Enterprise Architect to corporate transformation initiatives for platforms and application architectures. My approach begins by understanding the Business Architecture and transitions to leading the design of enterprise class, cloud native (hybrid), reusable capabilities, and delivery platforms to unify and reuse assets across multiple Business Units and product lines. Additionally, I liaise with clients (previous roles), stakeholders, and cross-functional teams to ensure the company’s operational support structure drives the business forward with minimal expenditures.Colleagues describe me as a progressive, driven, down-to-earth, strategic; an analytical expert who can be relied on to offer superior solutions that deliver profitable results on time and under budget.
