    ⭐Upwork Expert-Vetted ⭐ 100% Job Success ⭐ Multiple Expert Cloud & AI Certifications ⭐ ⭐ Decades of experience ⭐Azure ⭐ GCP ⭐ AWS ⭐ OCI ⭐ On-Prem ⭐ Traditional DS DC ⭐ I am a #Multicloud Certified Solutions Architect Expert/Professional across all three major clouds. I also hold a Google Professional Network Engineer certification, multiple expert SASE certifications, and an OCI Generative AI Professional certification. I will be adding more AI certifications very soon. As a Cloud Architect, my responsibilities generally include: --Understanding the vision for your business --Learning and understanding your organization’s business processes --Evaluating your current technology to see if it can achieve your future goals --Assessing your organization’s ability to change in terms of people, processes, and technology --Creating an optimized architecture to facilitate the achievement of your desired goals --Helping your account team develop a business case with a return on investment --Facilitating implementation of the new architecture, including hands-on involvement where it makes sense --Keeping stakeholders up to date --Managing vendors --Writing documentation --Training your team on the new architecture to ensure success My solutions are not necessarily locked into any single cloud. Part of my process is identifying target platforms that will return the most value to your business. In this modern age, there is no need to be locked into a single cloud, as this can often lead to unnecessarily high costs, reducing returned value. Many solutions will span multiple clouds and on-premises data centers. This is perfectly fine. However, if you have already selected a specific cloud for your solution, I can work with that too. With 40 years of experience, I have done the heavy lifting in the past, which makes me a better architect. It's easy to design plans for others to execute, but having done the execution and ongoing operation myself, I have an inherent ability to design successful solutions from the ground up. For clients without engineering teams, I am perfectly capable and happy to implement these solutions too. Whether you are building something new, migrating your existing infrastructure, or need to resolve problems in your current configurations, I am here to help you navigate through it. I need new challenges. It's in my DNA. What’s your challenge? How can I help you? #Cloud #Multicloud #Azure #GCP #AWS #OCI #Architecture #GenAI #GenerativeAI
