Director-scope Platform & Enterprise Architecture (TOGAF) | Principal SWE, Sr. Mgr II | 45+ engineers · $5.1M FinOps · Mainframe modernization · Production AgenticAI

About

I lead platform and enterprise architecture programs at Fortune-1 scale — managing staff and solutions architects alongside engineering managers, tech leads, and developers. My organization includes 25+ engineers, architects, and managers; 50+ engineers across eight cross-functional teams; and platforms consumed by 300+ enterprise applications at 50K+ TPS with 99.99% uptime. As Principal Software Engineer and Sr. Manager II, I own backend platform architecture, P&L accountability, and delivery outcomes for merchandising technology (cost, price, supplier negotiations), supply chain, space, and analytics — not roadmaps in isolation. Recent impact: → $5.1M+ in annual cloud savings through FinOps governance, architectural optimization, and capacity management → Enterprise data and AI platform modernization on Azure (lakehouse, Kafka, Databricks) with governed GenAI and agentic patterns for pricing and replenishment → Executable enterprise architecture — ADRs, review boards, reference patterns, and SLO/SLI standards embedded in delivery (~50% higher deployment frequency) → Mainframe IMS retirement and supplier-domain legacy modernization — $1.2M in annual operating cost eliminated; real-time, API-first capabilities across the enterprise Earlier career: MDM and integration in financial services and insurance (Bank of America, Fireman's Fund) before 15+ years building enterprise retail platforms. I am a player-coach for architects — I set enterprise architecture direction and review-board bar; I coach 15+ senior and staff engineers into architecture and leadership roles. Open Enterprise Platform Reference Architecture on GitHub (runnable ADRs, CI, system design): modernization, production RAG, governed MCP, retail keystone platform, and published Cassandra research with a reproducible lab.
