As Director of Platform Architecture & Data Insights, I focus on how the enterprise operates across external design and construction platforms. I also turn data from those platforms into insights about project performance.
My work starts with the 'shared platform estate': the vendor-operated design and construction cloud platforms that have matured into critical environments for enterprise data, content, workflows, and institutional knowledge.
That estate is singular as an enterprise concern but federated across multiple design and construction platform operators. Each platform has its own infrastructure, data models, APIs, automation, AI capabilities, and governance boundaries. No individual vendor owns the full chain. The enterprise still depends on the chain as a connected whole.
Platform Architecture creates preferred, governed ways of working, or “golden paths,” across that federated estate. Rather than focusing on Internal Developer Platforms, I work on the customer-side architecture that connects vendor platforms with enterprise policy, data, automation, and AI. I also pull project, carbon, and operational data from these environments to support better decisions. I treat these environments not simply as software tools, but as programmable infrastructure that can be integrated, automated, observed, and controlled from the customer side.
The goal is straightforward: make the preferred way of working in these external environments easier to observe and aligned with internal policies, while turning platform data into actionable insights.
