Senior Solutions Architect in enterprise consulting, shaping cloud and modernization strategies and delivering a healthcare insurance marketplace MVP.
What I'm looking for
At Global Consulting Tier (Virtusa / Persistent Systems / Mphasis / ADP), I defined target-state architectures and modernization roadmaps for banking and insurance platforms, including core legacy mainframe and COTS systems.
For StoneBrook Risk, I conceptualized and delivered end-to-end blueprints for a distributed US Health Insurance Exchange marketplace MVP, spanning application, data, analytics, and security layers.
Across client work, I performed security reviews aligned with the SWIFT Cyber Security Framework and contributed to cloud-native and hybrid transformations, including AWS monitoring for ForgeRock IAM products.
During my current Technical Sabbatical & Architecture R&D, I’m researching, building, and open-sourcing architectural frameworks. I’ve also authored system design case studies and created scoring matrices and compliance calculators for cloud readiness, security assessments, and AI audit readiness.
