What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead engineering and cloud modernization initiatives where I can shape technical strategy, mentor teams, strengthen DevOps practices, and deliver scalable Azure platforms aligned with business goals.

I've architected enterprise software and cloud platforms for Subway, Verizon, AmeriGas, Apple Healthcare, and Kaplan University. My work spans 25+ years of delivering scalable solutions while leading cross-functional engineering teams.

At Unison Systems for LHC Group, I led a team building facility and personnel data governance for 33,000+ employees and 3,800 facilities using C#, .NET 8 microservices, Angular, Azure, and SQL Server. I also implemented GitHub-based CI/CD and Terraform infrastructure-as-code pipelines and assessed 75+ applications for Docker and Kubernetes modernization.

As Chief Azure Solution Architect for AmeriGas, I directed an offshore team delivering a commercial customer portal with .NET Core microservices, Azure API Management, and Angular/Node.js. I established engineering standards, mentored teams through modernization, and partnered with executive stakeholders on cloud strategy.

I bring hands-on architecture experience across Azure, DevOps, microservices, data platforms, and Agile delivery. I enjoy translating business goals into practical technical roadmaps, building strong teams, and delivering reliable platforms at enterprise scale.
