Experience

Solutions Architect — IBM

Nov 2023 – Present · Remote

Technical lead on enterprise and government modernization and AI adoption programs. Joined via Neudesic, an IBM company, as Principal Consultant; promoted into solutions architecture with sales responsibility; title now Solutions Architect under IBM.

  • Own the technical win from pursuit through delivery, partnering with client executives, engineering leaders, and account teams to define the solution, team composition, pricing, LOE, and proposal; carry annual signings and recurring-revenue targets while remaining hands-on as a delivery lead and builder
  • Designed and built an application-intake automation and deterministic scoring pipeline as a delivery program scaled from a solo architect to 50–75 engineers: scans client environments and GitHub repositories, maps dependencies, sizes applications, generates architecture diagrams and documentation, produces sprint plans, and pushes work into Jira; eight delivery pods now produce consistent assessment artifacts from one encoded methodology
  • Deploy Copilot Studio agents and lead Azure AI Foundry adoption for enterprise clients, including a delivery-intelligence agent suite that gives project managers and technical product owners live visibility across Power BI and enterprise data sources, with ServiceNow and custom-system actions added behind approval points
  • Build and operate an internal per-user agent appliance platform as cloud-hosted containers: Terraform landing zones, hardened private networking with zero public ingress, IdP-integrated access, OAuth-brokered service connectivity with per-user key vaults, and governance-aligned inference
  • Turned around a state-government healthcare decision-support platform 90 days from launch with no production readiness: built per-user identity, Azure Monitor/Log Analytics/Sentinel telemetry, disaster recovery, and multi-region failover across Azure and Snowflake, delivering a tested operating model that passed audit against FedRAMP and MARS-E expectations
  • Drove migration of 100+ legacy applications to cloud in under six months, coordinating eight delivery pods and approximately 50 engineers; also led solution design and initial delivery of a greenfield Azure disaster-recovery landing zone for a publicly traded utility

Senior Cyber Security Engineer — Fincantieri Marine Group (Contract)

Aug 2023 – Nov 2023

  • Security architecture assessment and compliance gap analysis for defense-sector shipbuilding across cloud and on-premises environments

Site Reliability Engineer / Sr. Infrastructure Engineer — Octolayer, Inc (Virtuoso Travel)

Dec 2014 – Jul 2023

Founded and operated an infrastructure consultancy; Virtuoso Travel and Sabey Data Centers were anchor clients. Sole infrastructure engineer for a global luxury travel network, owning its datacenter-to-Azure migration and production operations for more than eight years.

  • Executed a full datacenter-to-Azure migration of 200+ VMs across compute, storage, networking, App Services, and ExpressRoute; codified infrastructure in Bicep and ARM and optimized cost with Reserved Instances
  • Designed multi-subscription hub-and-spoke networking; built CI/CD in Jenkins and Azure DevOps; operated MS-SQL high-availability clusters and production monitoring

Principal Network Architect — Sabey Data Centers (IGX), via Octolayer

May 2012 – Dec 2014

  • Sole architect for a national datacenter provider’s multi-region connectivity platform: greenfield L2/L3 network with BGP, OSPF, MPLS, and carrier interconnects; architecture consulting for university and enterprise clients

Principal Network Engineer — Endurance International Group

Aug 2010 – May 2012

  • Ran network engineering for a major public web hosting provider: operated AS29873 across routing, peering, transit, and capacity planning; F5 load balancing across more than one million backend domains

President / Co-Founder — Spry.com / VPSLink.com

2003 – 2010

Co-founded a Linux VPS hosting company and grew it from zero revenue through acquisition.

  • Engineered the hosting platform end-to-end and operated AS31898; owned product, pricing, vendor negotiation, and customer acquisition; negotiated and closed the sale, then directed post-acquisition infrastructure operations as VP, Technical Operations
