Seasoned Solutions Architect with expertise in enterprise IT solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned Solutions Architect with over 15 years of experience in designing and implementing enterprise-level IT solutions. My expertise spans cloud and non-cloud architecture, microservices, and digital transformation. I have a proven track record of leading cross-functional teams and delivering high-impact projects that align with business objectives.
In my most recent role as a Senior Solutions Architect at Standard Bank Corporate and Investment Banking, I led the CIB OPS Technology Architecture Team, focusing on strategic positioning and governance of architecture capabilities. I have successfully managed architecture work products and driven strategic Enterprise Architecture initiatives, including digitization and modernization efforts.
Throughout my career, I have addressed complex IT and business challenges for diverse clients, enhancing operational efficiency and driving business growth. My ability to translate complex business needs into effective IT solutions has been instrumental in my success, as demonstrated in notable projects such as the Investor Services Accounting Platform Upgrade and the design of a hybrid cloud blockchain solution for cross-border payments.
