Selected work
Proof points from technology portfolio transformation and enterprise architecture.
These are representative, anonymized examples from work in complex environments. The common thread is creating enough estate visibility to support portfolio, modernization, separation, and architecture decisions.
Transformation evidence
Evidence from complex estates, portfolio decisions, and governed change.
The work has included application and interface discovery, architecture responsibility across complex estates, modernization from long-grown monoliths toward service-oriented and event-driven architectures, and the governance needed to make decisions executable.
From fragmented estate to decision baseline
Worked on estates where application, interface, ownership, capability, and lifecycle data had to be made usable before transformation decisions could hold.
From architecture board to executive roadmap
Aligned IT, business, governance, and delivery into roadmaps that connected strategic priorities with platform constraints, funding decisions, and delivery capacity.
From cloud ambition to operating model
Supported cloud and application modernization with platform governance, DevOps practices, security guardrails, and IT risk visibility.
From local systems to scalable architecture
Designed integration and event-driven architecture approaches that enabled interoperability, resilience, auditability, and global platform scaling.
Divestment discovery
Application and interface discovery for a major divestment program.
- Led application discovery for a major divestment program in the energy and lubricants sector.
- Covered 1,000+ applications and 1,500+ interfaces.
- Created visibility for separation planning, dependency analysis, and architecture decision-making.
- Mapped application and interface dependencies so business, IT, and architecture stakeholders could work from a shared factual baseline.
Application portfolio
AI-informed rationalization and lifecycle decisions.
- Led an AI-informed decommissioning assessment for 65+ applications within a global healthcare manufacturer.
- Identified cost reduction potential and accelerated rationalization decisions through structured application portfolio analysis.
- Enabled data-driven onboarding, offboarding, and lifecycle management through enterprise architecture governance and capability models.
Transformation leadership
Large-scale transformation with architecture, AI, and portfolio intelligence.
- Held architecture responsibility across complex application estates where transformation required business, IT, governance, and delivery alignment.
- Combined enterprise architecture with AI-enabled decision-making, cloud modernization, and portfolio optimization to support transformation decisions.
- Advised C-level executives on AI-enabled transformation strategies spanning cloud, application modernization, and portfolio rationalization.
- Translated strategic intent into target architecture, executable roadmaps, modernization sequencing, and value cases.
Enterprise architecture
Governance, capability models, and decision structures.
- Transformed enterprise architecture capabilities within a major business unit, including enterprise-wide technology assessment and LeanIX introduction.
- Built architecture governance and roadmap structures across automotive, banking, manufacturing, and logistics contexts.
- Led enterprise architecture governance across a major region, aligning standards, strategic priorities, and transformation goals.
- Facilitated cross-functional architecture alignment from operational teams to executive level to build decision momentum.
Deal and value case
Transformation architecture for major proposal work.
- Orchestrated the transformation track of a major deal proposal for a European high-tech manufacturer.
- Defined target architecture, modernization roadmap, transformation storyline, and value case for executive decision-making.
- Connected business outcomes, architecture direction, cloud modernization, and delivery feasibility into one coherent proposal track.
Platforms and integration
Global platforms, integration architecture, and business continuity.
- Designed and governed integration architecture for a large-scale sales platform transformation, ensuring scalability and interoperability.
- Supported platform governance, DevOps, security, and IT risk topics as part of modernization and transformation execution.
- Led architecture and modernization of globally deployed sales platforms, improving resilience, scalability, and delivery speed across markets.
- Delivered integration architecture for globally distributed platforms, enabling interoperability across systems and regions.
Cloud-native delivery
Event-driven systems and modern digital products.
- Modernized long-grown monolithic landscapes toward service-oriented and event-driven architectures.
- Architected and delivered cloud-native, event-driven platforms for order management and trip planning.
- Designed and implemented event-sourcing frameworks for scalable, resilient, and auditable distributed systems.
- Designed and built digital products including a brand-independent car configurator and specialized inventory and planning systems.
Scale signal
Experience where strategy, architecture, and execution have to line up.
Across 19+ years in IT, I have worked from implementation and solution architecture into enterprise architecture and executive advisory. That background helps me test strategic plans against delivery constraints and translate technical estate complexity into decisions leaders can use.
1,000+
applications
Led discovery across a major divestment program, including application and dependency visibility for separation planning.
1,500+
interfaces
Mapped interface scope to support dependency analysis and architecture decisions in a complex estate.
40+
countries
Architected and deployed global CRM and sales platform capabilities across markets.
19+
years in IT
Experience spanning software engineering, solution architecture, cloud architecture, and enterprise architecture.
Industry breadth
Worked across automotive, banking, manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, insurance, food, and specialized digital product contexts.
Technology depth behind the advice
Grounded in Azure, AWS, cloud-native platforms, integration architecture, event-driven systems, .NET, DAPR, AKS, DevOps, and cybersecurity architecture.
From evidence to context
Discuss where this experience maps to your transformation challenge.
If these proof points are close to the decisions your leadership team is facing, the useful next step is a direct conversation about context: application portfolio pressure, modernization sequencing, M&A separation, architecture governance, technology risk, or dependency visibility.
