Profile
Senior Solutions Architect with 10+ years building enterprise cloud platforms across financial services, energy, and technology. My career has moved from global technical support through solution architecture at DXC and Accenture into the role I hold today: designing CCoE operating models, governance frameworks, and compliant Azure architectures for regulated enterprises. Along the way I have delivered 200+ training sessions as a Microsoft Certified Trainer, earned 14 cloud certifications, and worked across Azure, AWS, OCI, and the full Microsoft 365 stack.
