• Mentoring of colleagues while alongside senior level management in Technology, Product, Client Operations and Integration as a subject matter expert SME on service-oriented architecture design patterns, and related middleware and messaging APIs, to improve my ability to meet objectives set by the team and required by my role s of many clients satisfaction collaboration with Infrastructure Engineering teams to evaluate emerging technologies with usefulness and viability as part of the overall infrastructure roadmap. Developmental and product delivery quality, availability, security, and capacity/performance future state strategy, and execution regarding the infrastructure road map while demonstrating perceptible business value.
• Working as a project Manager and Team lead reporting to the PMO office, guiding them in design and execution teams building solutions to assure alignment with architecture specifications and standards. Escalate and resolve architecture and other technical issues. Document and communicate architecturally significant implementation details developing strategic road maps that drives Infrastructure vision into actionable process and or procedure.
• Worked broadly with a team of architects and engineering leads to define and document architecture patterns and technology standards to accommodate delivery of functional requirements and meet expectations variously for usability, availability, capacity and performance, scalability, reliability, security, and business continuity.
• Defined and implement proofs of concept and reference architectures that support architecture direction by proving that new technologies and/or architecture patterns work effectively to meet functional and non-functional objectives. Apply leanings and incorporate into specifications and other project deliverables.
• Fundamentals of software engineering and application architecture with strong design aiding the developers in the related programming technologies on Linux and UNIX. Years of experience with infrastructure engineering background with strengths in application design, security, operations, networking, and Webservice API's.
