What I'm looking for

I'm interested in leading modern architecture initiatives that align business strategy with scalable technology, including event-driven systems, domain-driven design, API strategy, low-code platforms, and AI-enabled development.

At Healthesystems, I lead enterprise architecture and technology strategy across healthcare and pharmacy benefit management platforms. I introduced Event-Driven Architecture organization-wide and define API, integration, and solution architecture standards that connect business capabilities to scalable designs.

I use Domain-Driven Design to bring teams and business stakeholders together through Event Storming, Context Mapping, Domain Storytelling, and domain modeling. I also contribute to value stream mapping, capability modeling, C4 architecture modeling, Appian initiatives, and modern architecture governance.

Earlier, I modernized loyalty platforms at Kobie Marketing and pharmacy and patient-engagement platforms at Catalina Marketing and Adheris Health, including Java solutions deployed to 18,000+ pharmacies and a centralized real-time patient messaging platform. My path from field service and quality assurance through engineering, application architecture, and enterprise architecture gives me a practical end-to-end perspective on delivering reliable technology.
