Principal Architect focused on disaster recovery assessments, strategy, and designs
Based in San Diego, CA (willing to commute or telecommute globally)
Rate $150/hour
The most common purpose to bring in an outside consultant is to determine the true nature of the environment so that a solution can be implemented. Often, there is a vagueness swirling around the true nature of the environment and the true issue. However, getting to the true nature requires an outside, dispassionate, independent, subject matter expert to distinguish between the rhetoric, emotion, ambivalence, deception, and facts. This is my forte, absorbing the perceptions of various individuals, reviewing their various outputs, and suggesting a course of action based on the true nature of the environment. These suggestions address the busines drivers, technical limitations, process requirements, and timelines. My approach towards solution design is based on TOGAF methodology combined with years of experience in addressing enterprise situations.
