Senior Enterprise Architect driving federal IT modernization, governance, and investment-ready architecture decisions.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead federal enterprise architecture and modernization governance—driving FEAF/TOGAF-aligned roadmaps, CPIC-ready investment support, and traceable target-state decisions, while collaborating closely with stakeholders to turn complex findings into clear executive artifacts.

I’m a Senior Enterprise Architect with 12+ years supporting federal IT modernization, enterprise architecture governance, business and systems analysis, and technology portfolio decision support.

Currently, I support HUD OCIO/CTO enterprise architecture initiatives—building enterprise roadmaps, FEAF-aligned reference models, and business capability mapping, while maintaining traceability across objectives, capabilities, investments, and target-state outcomes.

I also bring hands-on engineering depth: I validate legacy application-to-database integrations, build CI/CD testbeds, and evaluate emerging AI developer tooling—then translate those findings into executive-ready architecture artifacts and modernization analysis.

I’m known for operating with limited direction, facilitating cross-functional stakeholder sessions, and delivering architecture work products that connect business outcomes, systems and data, infrastructure and security, and the investment decisions leaders must make.
