Chief Technology Officer @ Zion Cloud Solutions
About
As the CTO of Zion Cloud Solutions and Co-Founder of ZionAI, I help public-sector and enterprise leaders modernize on AWS/Azure and responsibly adopt Data & GenAI. With 25+ years across Bank of America, Amazon, and Oracle, leading global teams I deliver on large-scale transformations along with a focus on security, reliability, and measurable business outcomes. At AWS, serving as Principal Architect I drove complex migrations and DevSecOps programs; in 2020 I helped drive 400% YoY growth and lifted team utilization by 60%. Earlier, as SVP at Bank of America and Executive Advisory at Genesis10, I scaled high-performing engineering orgs, built next-gen infrastructure platforms, and accelerated modernization across data, apps, and security. Highlights include improving mission-critical system availability (including NASA JPL work via partners) and delivering compliant platforms in regulated environments. Today I lead Zion’s Data and AWS practices, our CloudScale managed services, and ZionAI’s secure, governed GenAI framework (multi-agent orchestration; SOC 2/HIPAA-ready logging, tracing, and guardrails). Recent work spans Illinois HFS/OMI case management, Azure-native platforms, Zero Trust, and NIST-aligned controls. Focus Areas: Cloud Strategy & Landing Zones • AWS/Azure • DevSecOps • Data Platforms • GenAI/RAG • Observability • Cost Optimization • Security & Compliance (NIST, HIPAA, FedRAMP-aligned) Let’s connect on partnerships, federal/state opportunities, and enterprise cloud & AI programs.
