I am a Senior Technical Account Manager at Amazon Web Services (AWS) specializing in Cloud Network Architectures and Software-Defined Networking, assisting clients with cloud modernization, cost optimization, and conducting Well-Architected reviews. With over 10 years of experience ranging from datacenter networking & design and enterprise architecture deployments to cloud architecture implementations across multi-cloud environments, I bring comprehensive expertise to complex infrastructure challenges. Before AWS, I built a diverse technical foundation across several organizations: at Corning, I led the Manufacturing Controls Cybersecurity program implementing strategic firewall solutions; at FCA Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, I transformed traditional infrastructure to software-defined networking using Cisco's ACI, implementing BGP Route Reflectors and automating network policies through REST APIs; and at Zayo Group, I managed carrier-grade networking with Tier I service providers like AT&T and Verizon, developing expertise in BGP routing and MPLS backbones across multiple vendor platforms. My academic background includes research at the University of Oklahoma, where I configured the Networking Interoperability lab and completed a master's thesis on Quantum Compressive Imaging. This combination of academic foundation and practical experience enables me to architect sophisticated hybrid networking solutions that seamlessly bridge on-premises infrastructure with AWS cloud environments while maintaining stringent security and compliance requirements. I'm passionate about sharing my knowledge and helping others grow through mentoring and coaching. If you're looking to build or advance your career in Cloud Network Engineering, transition between networking domains, or navigate the evolving landscape of network architecture in cloud environments, I'd be delighted to connect and support your journey.
