Client: NW NaturalInterim Enterprise Application Architect
Jun. 2018 - Oct. 2018Portland, Oregon AreaAs a consulting architect to the CIO, I successfully led a short-term engagement focused on conducting strategic assessments and providing recommendations for a portfolio of over 20 mission-critical applications that required replacement in advance of an upcoming SAP upgrade. Through my leadership, I successfully drove a change in approach from a traditional, project-based approach to technology management to a more modern, enterprise portfolio management approach utilizing lean principles. This enabled better addressing of cross-cutting concerns and maximizing the use of licenses and subscriptions across the organization. Additionally, I provided technical expertise and guidance for Azure cloud adoption and architecture, Kubernetes containerization, API management, and cloud/container security. As an expert in cloud adoption in regulated utilities, I navigated the unique challenges of this field, where all technology expenditures are subject to regulated CapEx/OpEx constraints that currently favor on-premise implementations. I leveraged the opportunity presented by application containerization to evolve regulatory recognition of the need for cloud resources, allowing for applications to easily move from on-premise to the cloud, providing a sliding control on cloud adoption and CapEx/OpEx implementation ratios. My knowledge of the recent update to Subtopic 350-40 by FASB/EITF also allowed me to capitalize on the opportunity to capitalize cloud implementation costs starting in 2020.
