Leander, United States

At IBM, I lead as a Senior Principal Technical Architect, where my mission is to elevate our D365 and Power Platform Center of Excellence, particularly within the Department of Veteran Affairs. My tenure has been marked by the successful implementation of vulnerability assessments, observability, performance monitoring, ensuring robust security frameworks and controls are implemented for D365 and Power Platform applications.

My expertise is drawn from a solid background in 10+ years of software development, specializing in Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Power Platform. The team and I have pioneered solutions that have significantly enhanced productivity and streamlined processes. With credentials as a Certified Scrum Master and Microsoft Certified Professional, I adhere to best practices in technical architecture, enterprise security and agile methodologies.
