⨋ SUMMARY

I'm a software engineer with 15 years of experience in the software development industry. I used to work as a software developer, software and solution architect, and technical lead. I cultivated engineering practices in my teams. The world of Microsoft .NET has fostered me. I have lived in its ecosystem for over ten years and created software products. After working with small startups and large companies, I discovered my passion lies in Enterprise Architecture, Product Delivery, and Cloud Solution Architecture.

As a Solution Architect and Azure Cloud Architect at the Central Bank of Ireland, I am responsible for crafting detailed solution designs that cater to specific business needs and creating innovative technology strategies that anticipate and address the challenges of tomorrow. Effective communication is at the heart of my duties, ensuring that architecture is conveyed seamlessly to stakeholders and ensuring everyone is on the same page regarding their understanding and vision.

My expertise extends to designing intricate cloud and hybrid solutions. Furthermore, I don't just stick to the solutions planning; I immerse myself in the nitty-gritty of development from the trenches. This hands-on experience gives me a holistic understanding of projects, making me a strategist and executor. Apart from my roles at the Central Bank of Ireland, I am passionate about leveraging my extensive knowledge to aid other businesses. I offer independent consultancy services focused on Enterprise Architecture and the implementation of enterprise platforms. This consultancy is primarily rooted in platforms like Microsoft Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Azure, and Microsoft 365. My roles involve a rich blend of responsibilities – from meticulously building enterprise architecture capability maps to devising forward-thinking technology strategies.

Each project I undertake allows me to create sustainable, technological solutions that drive business transformation.
