Advanced IT Consultant

NNE

Set the technical foundation for a Databricks lakehouse - one of the largest IT systems at one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies - establishing the technology, processes, and engineering culture the platform and team would build on, from scratch to production for a global manufacturing-analytics platform used across all production lines. Medallion architecture, infrastructure as code, and a full unit/integration/system test suite, replacing a 20-year-old legacy system.
Provisioned core AWS services (ECS/Fargate, Lambda, Kinesis, Firehose, networking, IAM) as code via AWS CDK, to the enterprise's cloud standards.
Collaborated cross-functionally across multiple teams and stakeholders throughout the project.
Core member of the group evaluating the company's global enterprise architecture - vendor, technology, and integration decisions spanning multiple teams, services, and systems, across a broad stack.
Helped shift engineering culture in a large, multi-vendor enterprise toward modern software engineering tools and processes, pushing back on a low-code, deploy-to-prod-by-hand approach for a new OT platform.
