What I'm looking for
Solutions Architect and Software Engineering Leader with 20+ years of experience architecting distributed systems, digital banking platforms, and cloud solutions for regulated financial institutions. My career bridges deep systems architecture with strategic delivery—designing high-availability frameworks, eliminating operational downtime, and leading multi-team engineering organizations to drive measurable business outcomes.
At Bottomline Technologies, I designed and standardized the enterprise integration adapter architecture that became the benchmark framework for repeatable, secure implementations across Tier-1 global banks. I directed root-cause analysis, troubleshooting, and resolution for high-impact production incidents across commercial banking segments, significantly reducing downtime and enforcing rigorous reliability standards. I also managed multiple distributed Scrum teams delivering core digital banking workflows, transactional security, and commercial onboarding features while evaluating, hiring, and mentoring engineering talent.
At Intuit and Digital Insight, I guided engineering teams through complex regulatory environments, financial compliance, and information security audits across cash management, mobile banking, and transactional security platforms. Through Flat Cap LLC, I advise enterprise fintech and SaaS clients on cloud modernization, system integrations, and adopting AI coding agents paired with automated verification layers to raise engineering velocity and enforce compliance standards.
Core competencies include Distributed Systems Architecture, Microservices, Core Banking Integrations, High Availability, AWS, Java, Spring Framework, and REST APIs. I am targeting Principal Solutions Architect, Director of Platform Engineering, or Enterprise Architecture Leader roles within fintech, digital banking, or enterprise SaaS.
