You lead cloud architecture strategy for CNO development environments, defining the roadmap and reusable patterns that enable teams to adopt cloud solutions where they deliver clear value. You design high-ROI pilot efforts and create “easy button” templates that accelerate adoption while preserving hybrid flexibility for on-prem systems. You architect end-to-end solutions for complex CNE services, including large-scale storage migrations, legacy-to-cloud integration patterns, and secure performance improvements.

You assess existing infrastructure, document dependencies, evaluate mission impact, and help prioritize modernization based on risk, cost, and user pain points. You partner closely with AWS Professional Services and mission stakeholders, validating architectures and ensuring solutions meet the realities of CNE development, testing, and collaboration.
