Platform Modernization
Platform modernization in 2026 means more than migrating to the cloud. I build the internal developer platform (IDP) that makes every engineering initiative - including agentic AI integrations - sustainable long-term.
My work spans .NET 8 platform rebuilds that retire 65% of technical debt, AWS-native re-architectures from legacy monoliths, and regulated-industry integrations including HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, HL7/FHIR exchange, and direct Epic EMR connectivity. Outcomes: code-to-release cycle time down 40%, 99.95% SLA at sub-second response for 10k concurrent users, and MTTR cut 30% through Datadog and Splunk observability standards.
Platform engineering as a discipline means CI/CD, observability, and AI agent tooling - Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot, AWS Kiro - are first-class products on your engineering roadmap, not bolted-on afterthoughts. CloudWatch Canaries, PagerDuty, and custom Grafana dashboards deliver executive-level visibility into uptime and platform health.

What I Deliver
Cloud-Native Architecture
Full re-architectures from monolith to microservices, serverless-where-appropriate, and event-driven systems built for horizontal scale. I partner with infrastructure teams to ensure every architectural decision supports long-term operational efficiency.
Platform Engineering
I build internal developer platforms (IDPs) that abstract infrastructure complexity and give engineers self-service access to CI/CD, observability, secrets management, and agent tooling. The IDP is the foundation that makes AI-native SDLC sustainable.
Technical Debt Reduction
With hands-on experience resolving tech debt under real-world constraints, I implement structured modernization roadmaps that reduce risk, improve velocity, and enable the platform to absorb AI integrations without fragility.
Cross-Industry Platform Experience
I align technology with business strategy to deliver measurable, high-impact results.
- FinTech: Architected PCI-compliant payment platforms processing over $500M annually - including integration across dozens of payment processors and CRMs.
- MedTech: Deployed HIPAA-compliant systems serving over 2 million patients, integrating patient records, scheduling, and billing to streamline hospital operations.
- EduTech: Scaled learning platforms to support 100,000+ concurrent users, architecting student information, course management, and grading systems.
- B2B SaaS: Directed multi-tenant solutions achieving 99.95% SLA compliance for 10k concurrent users. Led multi-year overhauls transforming legacy monoliths into modern AWS-native .NET 8 and Java platforms.
ERP-Class System Architecture
I architect ERP-class systems that form the operational backbone of a business. While not traditional ERPs like SAP or Oracle, I build comprehensive integrated systems that power complex, end-to-end business workflows.
My strength is aligning technology with operations to create systems that become the core backbone of the business - which is the exact purpose of ERP. My cross-industry expertise enables rapid domain adaptation and effective risk mitigation, ensuring new systems not only work but seamlessly integrate into and modernize existing business processes.

Modernization Roadmap
Platform modernization without a structured roadmap is how organizations end up with half-migrated systems and doubled complexity. I use a four-phase approach that delivers business value at every stage.
- Phase 1 - Assess
Comprehensive platform audit: architecture mapping, technical debt quantification, dependency analysis, performance profiling, and team capability assessment. Outputs a prioritized modernization backlog with business impact scores.
- Phase 2 - Architect
Target architecture design: microservices boundaries, data model evolution, API contracts, cloud infrastructure design, and IDP requirements. Includes a migration strategy that preserves business continuity throughout.
- Phase 3 - Migrate
Phased migration execution using strangler fig pattern, feature flags, and canary deployments. Each phase is independently valuable and fully reversible - no big-bang cutovers that create existential risk.
- Phase 4 - Operate
IDP operationalization, observability implementation, SRE practice establishment, and AI agent tooling integration. The platform is now agentic-ready - capable of absorbing the AI integrations that drive the next wave of velocity.
