A naturally agile, data-driven IT professional, I combine exceptional stakeholder management skills with creative problem-solving skills to deliver future-proofed, resilient and scalable solutions that add strategic business value. In my current role as AIOps / FSO Solution Architect for a global technology services provider, I support clients in their application-centric IT transformation journey using market-leading FSO best practices, methodologies and tools, evaluating complex business requirements and creating the infrastructure and development environment for the successful delivery of technical projects. Notable achievements have included designing an FSO pipeline / correlation platform for infrastructure monitoring for a banking client, a self-healing solution with automated deployment, significantly reducing licensing costs and alert noise. I also delivered Application Performance Monitoring for 150+ applications to increase adoption & visibility of AIOps/FSO platform for a multinational investment bank, enabling SLAs to be met with 200% associated team growth. I am a focused, pragmatic individual who can hit the ground running, delivering valuable technical expertise from the start and throughout the duration of a project. I pride myself on my ability to create a strong rapport with clients, internal teams, executive leadership teams, and 3 rd party solution providers to ensure timely delivery of innovative, fit-for-purpose AIOps / FSO architecture solutions.
