Key Responsibilities – Solution Architect (VWAN Migration Program)
• Lead the end-to-end architecture design and governance for migration from Hub-and-Spoke to Azure VWAN, ensuring alignment with enterprise cloud and security standards.
• Define and implement application-centric migration strategies, ensuring full application stacks (DMZ and internal dependencies) are migrated together.
• Design and oversee transit firewall decommissioning, reducing routing complexity, latency, and operational overhead in the target state.
• Lead Web Application Firewall (WAF) compliance implementation in Azure to ensure all internet-facing applications meet security and regulatory requirements.
• Define and execute roadmap to decommission legacy Hub-and-Spoke architecture and transition fully to VWAN.
• Drive network architecture design, including routing, UDR optimization, traffic flows, and micro-segmentation in VWAN.
• Oversee firewall policy redesign and migration, ensuring secure connectivity between DMZ and internal environments post-migration.
• Perform application dependency analysis across DMZ and internal systems to minimize latency and ensure seamless application functionality.
• Define migration patterns and playbooks (re-IP, domain migration, service accounts, cutover strategies) for consistent execution.
• Provide hands-on architectural support during migration execution, including troubleshooting, design validation, and real-time decision-making during cutovers.
• Collaborate across Cloud, Network, Security, Infrastructure, and Application teams to ensure coordinated delivery and alignment.
• Identify and mitigate key risks related to shared databases, cross-network dependencies, and performance constraints.
• Establish and enforce architecture governance, standards, and reusable design patterns across the migration program.
• Support migration activities across EST and MST time zones, including participation in critical migration windows and release schedules.
• Present architecture decisions and migration impacts to senior stakeholders, translating technical complexity into business-relevant insights.
