Message

At Sonata Software, I lead cloud and data architecture work for enterprise modernization programs, including work with Metcash and NSW Ports. For Metcash, I owned architecture strategy and design governance for a $5M+ cloud modernization program, and helped secure the engagement through RFP response and due diligence.

At NSW Ports, I served as principal architect on a data and cloud modernization program spanning operations, analytics, and IoT. I defined reusable reference architectures and led teams delivering Azure-based IoT, ERP, and BI modernization initiatives.

At Infosys, I led data platform transformations for Cummins Inc. and Caterpillar, including a Teradata-to-Snowflake migration that reduced data warehousing costs by 25–35%. I’ve also established Data & Analytics Centers of Excellence, led distributed engineering teams, and supported enterprise pre-sales from technical assessment through solution design.
