When I started at Jabil I was working to assist the Enterprise Architects with their strategies including: Cloud Computing, Digital Delivery, Integration & IoT, Data Science & Analytics, End User Experience. During my time in EA I have shadowed the senior Architects on my team in various areas including strategic alignment, solutions, and building roadmaps. I will provide support for vetting our architectural framework and building reference models to identify our current state architecture. I will support proof of concepts for new tools and services. I am also acting as an Enterprise Architecture apprentice working with a very talented and experienced team of individuals.

I believe in community out reach. I was one a few individuals who organized and hosted the Jabil Hackathon, a coding competition, at the University of South Florida at the Muma College of Business. This was a way for Jabil to promote its name in the community and to support young talented students. This was a way to discover exceptional individuals in a friendly competition.
