Led the integration architecture efforts for two pivotal applications, focusing on quoting and policy administration. Key responsibilities encompassed:• Definition of essential features (Enablers)• Development of Runway Architecture• Mentorship and coaching of junior architects• Participation in Program Increment (PI) planning sessionsAdditionally, played a pivotal role in crafting the solution architecture for the "Reserve Calculation" project, contributing to:• Definition of project features (Enablers)• Establishment of Runway Architecture• Guidance and mentorship for junior architects• Active involvement in Program Increment (PI) planning sessionsFurthermore, I fulfilled various other responsibilities, such as:• Contributed to the establishment of an Architecture practice• Collaborated with enterprise architecture to formulate roadmaps and strategies• Assisted in drafting a comprehensive Statement of Work (SOW) in collaboration with vendors.

Responsible for designing the high availability architecture for the provisioning stack. Activities included:• Definition of features (Enablers)• Runway Architecture• PI planning.Responsible for the Vision and Target architecture for the Service Assurance domain. Activities included:• Identification of drivers and goals through motivation diagrams.• Definition of concepts for Customer Ticketing vs Service Problem Management• Definition of capabilities and features (SAFE methodology)• Descriptive view of processes.• API definition.• Definition of the information model.• Runway Architecture definition• PI planningI am currently working on the architecture as part of a cloud native POC. Currently in the evaluation phase.

Lead architect for RFP responses. Analyzed customer RFP’s and designed solutions that not only met customer’s requirements, but positioned them for digital transformation and domain autonomy. Elements of these solutions included optimized processes and technology such as:• AI/Machine Learning • Microservices• Open API’s • Rules Engine• Operational Data Hubs

The Enable program is CN's modernization of the Product to Cash processes and systems . The program was estimated at over $300M dollars and it involved putting in place new foundations, processes and systems with a high degree of impact on the organization.As a the lead solution architect for the integration stream, I led a team of solution architects in developing reference, target, and solution architectures for the following subject areas:- SOA/API Management- BPM- EAI- EDA- ESB- Messaging- Data IntegrationI presented the architectures to various groups and secured approval from the Architecture Leadership Team.As lead solution architect for the CI (Customer Interaction) stream, I lead a team of solution architects to produce solution architectures for the following areas (not a complete list):- Order Management- Billing Management- Content Management- Customer ManagementI worked in conjunction with the project manager to produce a coherent delivery plan for the above architectures.As part of the CI mandate, I also proposed methods of delivering functionality in new and innovative ways. In addition, I supported the program manager and the director of architecture by proposing ways of structuring the program and its sub projects.I introduced standard documentation approaches and tools such as Sparx Enterprise Architect and taught and coached other solution architects on how to use them. I wrote document templates and models to automatically generate Microsoft Word Solution Architecture documents directly from a Sparx EA model.I am currently writing the reference architecture for Microservices implementation at CN.
