Defined SOA reference architecture, and the road map to support an SOA implementation.
Used the core of SOA Reference Architecture that consists of the shared services and infrastructure that enable business agility and foster reuse.

• It is designed to work like modular building blocks, offering the foundation necessary to deliver loose coupling.
• Each block is a reusable run time service.

Enterprises can snap them together, swap them out, and insert new layers without rebuilding the entire structure.
The SOA reference architecture imposes a conceptual layering that helps organize services into several basic categories.

• The horizontal layers build upon each other, bottom to top, to create greater levels of service abstraction.
• At the lowest layer, Connectivity Services provide access to legacy systems in a way that is compatible with SOA. This is the service-enablement layer.
• Each layer above adds greater business value.

Implemented SOA reference architecture aligned with business strategy and drives align with enterprise’s SOA vision.
Developed architectural design and technology choices across software, database and hardware implementation.
Understand business needs; propose options, set technology direction, influence design, and implementation of standards. Ability to create use cases, best practices, integration patterns.
Simplify existing Applications and integration architecture and build for scalability and supportability utilizing SOA as a framework.
Demonstrated experience in concurrently directing and managing large to medium projects in various industries.

• Providing project initiation, planning, business case analysis, designs, process & quality consulting and requirements gathering functions.
• Support team members, and vendors from the project stakeholder and business development perspectives.

Knowledge and experience applying enterprise architecture models ( Zachman Framework, The Open Group Architecture Framework).
Experience with software engineering techniques (Object-Oriented Analysis and Design, UML, use cases, service modeling, object modeling, component modeling, business process modeling, data modeling, data mine, artificial intelligence, robotics, enterprise information modeling).
