I am a Senior Technology Leader and Enterprise Architect with 15+ years of experience shaping, governing, and evolving large-scale technology platforms within global enterprises and IT services organizations.My work sits at the intersection of enterprise architecture, platform strategy, and delivery leadership, where complex, ambiguous problems require conceptual thinking, strong judgment, and alignment across business, technology, and operations. I have led architecture and transformation initiatives that span multiple domains, geographies, and teams, while advising senior leaders on technology roadmaps, modernization strategies, and long-term platform sustainability.I bring a unique blend of architectural authority and organizational leadership. I am equally comfortable defining enterprise-wide standards and governance models as I am diving deep into complex application and integration challenges that carry significant operational and business impact. My experience includes building and mentoring senior architects, influencing cross-functional stakeholders, and ensuring technology decisions balance innovation, risk, scalability, and execution realities.Over the years, I have worked across industries including financial services, life sciences, healthcare, technology, and professional services, supporting mission-critical environments with global reach. I am particularly experienced in platform ecosystems, service management architectures, integration strategies, and operating models that enable predictable delivery and continuous improvement.I am TOGAF® 10 certified and a ServiceNow Certified Technical Architect (CTA). Beyond my day-to-day roles, I actively contribute to the technology community as a ServiceNow Community Leader, Developer MVP, speaker, and mentor, helping shape best practices and future directions within the ecosystem.I enjoy working at the intersection of architecture, strategy, and execution, where technology decisions have enduring impact across the enterprise.
