Professional Summary

Enterprise Architect

I was tasked with working directly with executive leadership to ensure that business process are understood and the underpinning architecture aligns with those processes.

Standards I have authored or co-authored are in use by Microsoft, Adobe, Apple, Boeing, AOL, API, Vignette and many others.

RECOMMENDATIONS

 “It was a delight to work with Daniel on the University of Tennessee - Knoxville assignment. Daniel has a phenomenal ability to network with upper management, speak their language, and gain their support when others have failed previously. He is a gifted strategic planner and 'out of the box' thinker who is able to build synergy between competing teams. His strategic and technical skills would be an asset to any company looking to hire a senior level manager, visionary, and leader who also is a man of character and principles.”
Brent Tucker, PMP, Program Manager, IT Project & Service Management (ITSM)

 

“I engaged Daniel to address some time critical performance issues in a legacy system, and Daniel did an excellent job profiling and tuning the application under relatively unreasonable time and resource constraints. I've worked with him before this, on industry standards, and would be delighted to work with Daniel again in the future.
Laird Popkin, Chief Enterprise Architect at Kaplan

“Dan & I served on the ICE-Authoring group together to define the ICE 1.0+ and 1.1 versions of the standard. Dan's knowledge of content distribution and networking systems were widely appreciated in the authoring group. Dan was a deep contributor to the development of the ICE-Standard and could always be counted on to deliver on his commitments. Dan both writes and communicates well.
