Portfolio

Summary

Platform architect with a track record of modernizing legacy systems into governed, observable platforms; delivering secure API and data ecosystems; and shipping high-stakes capabilities (direct indexing, reporting, identity, integrations) under tight timelines. Work spans wealth/retirement fintech, cloud platform enablement, and cross-team programs—pairing architecture rigor (contracts, guardrails, IaC, security) with execution tactics (canary migrations, interim bridges, replay/DLQ patterns, self-serve tooling) to accelerate delivery while improving reliability, compliance, and cost.

• Strangler migration that retained MPS as a limited fallback while rolling out canaries and controlled backfills

Responsibilities

• Led the build-vs-buy decision to move off MPS and designed the canvas/components architecture and scaling strategy
• Defined lineage IDs, SLA targets, DR cadence, and governed promotion gates with runbooks
• Designed self-service authoring/admin flows for Morningstar teams and client home-office admins
• Led migration and stakeholder alignment (Ops/Compliance/BA/Engineering) while keeping MPS integration only where unavoidable
