Experience designing infrastructure in Azure Commercial and Azure Government.
Experience with platforms in classified or similarly restricted federal environments.

Define target-state architecture and integration patterns that connect FSDS applications, data services, and external federal systems.
Lead architecture as the platform matures and expands to new environments.
Weigh architecture tradeoffs across cost, security, operability, and the constraints of federal environments.
Lead technical planning for new FSDS capabilities, migrations, and environment expansions, including scope, dependencies, sequencing, and estimates.
Serve as the platform’s technical lead with NTIA and partner government teams, presenting architecture options, tradeoffs, and recommendations.
Coordinate with Expression application, data, and security teams so platform decisions support delivery across all parts of FSDS.
Document architecture decisions and design rationale so teams and stakeholders understand why the platform works the way it does.
