Summary

Enterprise, technology, and data architect with twenty-five years delivering large-scale systems end to end (from initiation and architecture through build, integration, migration, and operations) across government, healthcare, finance, and telecoms. Founder of Simplification and Director, Solutions Architect at iSystematic. Deep, hands-on practice across enterprise & solution architecture (TOGAF, Zachman), data architecture & governance (DMBOK), multi-cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure), IT operations & service delivery, security & compliance (ISO 27001, SOC 2, zero-trust), Agile/Scrum delivery, ERP and enterprise systems, and Oracle platforms (RAC, Data Guard, Financials). Now extending that foundation into production AI, RAG, and AI governance. PhD spanning neuro-marketing and computer science.
