Principal Solution Architect – Azure & Fabric

Candidate Description

Marked by a strong blend of enterprise, solution and data-architecture expertise, this professional has spent more than two decades steering large-scale digital transformations for ASX-listed enterprises and government bodies. Adept at aligning technology strategy with business goals, they excel across multi-cloud environments (Azure, AWS, a Major Technology Provider, GCP) and leverage frameworks such as TOGAF, Zachman and SABSA to craft resilient, scalable and secure ecosystems. Their breadth spans banking, insurance, energy, telecommunications and public-sector domains, underpinned by refined stakeholder engagement and vendor-management skills.

Delivering value through deep technical acumen, they have led the architecture of complex data-platforms using Azure Data Factory, Databricks, Microsoft Fabric, Lakehouse design patterns and Power Platform components. Key achievements include designing a Financial Institution’s Customer and Distribution Data Marts, engineering an enterprise-wide data-segregation solution serving 13 million customers, and influencing an Energy Company’s adoption of Databricks and a Graph Database for analytics. They routinely govern architecture review boards, author technology-options papers, and drive DevOps-enabled CI/CD, data-governance and security-by-design practices across Agile and SAFe delivery models.

A collaborative leader and mentor, they have directed multi-disciplinary teams of up to 75 resources, facilitated executive workshops, and provided guidance on GenAI-driven data-lineage, privacy and compliance solutions. Adaptable to diverse industries and regulatory regimes, they couple strategic thinking with hands-on solution delivery to unlock business value, mitigate risk and accelerate innovation. Employers benefit from their proven ability to translate complex requirements into actionable roadmaps and to orchestrate seamless cloud migrations, platform modernisations and data-driven initiatives at enterprise scale.
