Junior Solutions Architect

Jul 2025 - now

  • With a senior colleague reviewing the change, ran technical discovery for a partner integration, mapping API permissions, event ownership, and customer requirements into an architecture decision record with explicit unsupported cases.
  • Within an assigned workstream, validated the integration architecture with retry, rate-limit, and permission-revocation tests; showed partners the technical recovery path instead of relying on a successful happy-path API call.
  • Within the assigned scope, translated a customer workload into a reference architecture with identity, network and recovery boundaries; tested the highest-risk integration in a proof of concept before the design review.
  • Within the assigned scope, owned an AWS integration assessment using networking and identity diagrams, resolved an unsupported routing assumption before the customer approved the architecture.
  • Within the assigned scope, released technical documentation with tested security boundaries and recovery steps, enabling a customer team to reproduce the cloud proof of concept from a clean account.

Solutions Architect Project Contributor

Mar 2024 - Jun 2025

  • The team ran architecture office hours for 34 partner engineers; my scope was data preparation, quality checks, and follow-up documentation under senior review. The team gave support and product owners a clearer follow-up path; documented my assigned work separately from the team result and confirmed it with a senior colleague.
  • Within the assigned scope, updated a troubleshooting article after reproducing a reported failure, separated user actions from administrator-only steps, and checked the procedure with a colleague using a clean setup.
  • Within the assigned scope, reproduced a customer issue on a clean configuration, compared the working and failing settings, and tested the proposed correction without administrator privileges. Published a troubleshooting sequence that preserved the customer’s original configuration.

  • Within the assigned scope, the team created a production-readiness review covering 28 security and reliability controls; my scope was data preparation, quality checks, and follow-up documentation under senior review
  • Configured a separate test environment with a documented network diagram, account permissions and failure scenarios; captured the logs needed to distinguish connectivity, authentication and application faults.
  • Tested the recovery guide from a fresh account, checked required permissions at each step, and added rollback instructions where a configuration change could disrupt the working baseline.
  • Owned the recovery rehearsal using an isolated test account, resolved a missing permission prerequisite and completed the restore without changing the working baseline.
