What I'm looking for
At Deloitte, I designed cloud architectures for telecom and enterprise engagements, including work as the sole architect on a public CSP engagement for a major telecom. I advised on, built, and tested cloud resources and architectures.
On Deloitte Cloud Services, I architected the journey to IBM Cloud and built the initial product and automated deployment system for all 600 member firms. I also created Terraform templates and a CI/CD pipeline, and contributed to IBM Cloud serverless and API development.
Across engagements, I’ve worked as an architect and manager, including designing GCP architecture for Hy-Vee development and managing four Vanguard workstreams. I’ve also designed and deployed monitoring and observability solutions using Splunk and Dynatrace.
My goals are to specialize in leading Architectural Review Boards, Kubernetes, DevOps, and all things Cloud. I hold certifications including CISSP, IBM Cloud certifications, and Splunk Core certifications.
