Message

At OneAmerica Financial, I’m currently Senior Director, Solution Architecture. I previously worked there as Principal Enterprise Architect, designing and implementing cloud strategies aligned with business objectives.

At Rexnord, I designed the architecture for a data center supporting enterprise-critical systems and helped deliver a migration from Exchange 2013 to Office 365 Hybrid mode. I also contributed to replacing Cisco ASA firewalls with Palo Alto Networks firewalls.

Earlier, I supported OneAmerica Financial’s infrastructure operations and projects, including Office 365 implementation, disaster recovery management, and ITIL service transition and operations processes. My experience also includes Windows Server, VMware, networking, and Active Directory across enterprise environments.
