Executive IT Architect at IBM Cloud | Fellow of BCS (FBCS) | Distinguished Architect
I have over 18 years of experience across software development, product management, and solution architecture. Currently, I serve as an Executive IT Architect at IBM Cloud, where I focus on pioneering architectures in Artificial Intelligence, Agentic Frameworks, and Quantum Computing.
I was elected as a BCS Fellow (FBCS) in 2024 and hold the Distinguished Architect certification from The Open Group. Within IBM, I am recognized as a Level 3 Thought Leader, the highest tier of technical certification.
A polyglot and pragmatic programmer, I've architected everything from mobile apps to cloud-native platforms. I am a DZone Expert and Core member, and I actively lead the BlueCoders meetup community. I am also a contributor to Think 2025 and serve as a judge for the Globee® Awards. Previously, I was a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) and Intel Software Innovator.
