I've spent 17+ years across leading global IT consulting and technology firms, moving through nearly every seat at the table — hands-on Azure Data Architect, presales solutioning lead, delivery manager for teams of 20+, and now Engagement Manager owning multi-million-dollar transformation programs and C-suite relationships for enterprise clients. Along the way I've built Azure data architectures and migrations, led RFP/proposal responses that turned into signed programs, managed vendor and stakeholder negotiations, and more recently, evaluated and championed AI/GenAI use cases inside live delivery roadmaps. If you're an engineer wondering how to move into architecture, an architect wondering how to move into presales or program leadership, or a delivery lead trying to get in front of clients and executives instead of just tickets — I've made each of those jumps myself, and I can help you build a real plan instead of guessing.
