Profile
John is a technology consultant with deep expertise in enterprise architecture, distributed systems, and the insurance industry. He partners with carriers, TPAs, and insurtech firms to modernize complex IT landscapes — bringing both hands-on engineering credibility and strategic framework fluency across TOGAF, ITIL, and cloud-native architecture patterns.

John translates technical complexity into executive-ready strategy, whether advising on zero-trust security posture, legacy core system migrations, or FinOps optimization in multi-cloud environments
