DESCRIPTION
THIS DESIGN WAS CREATED AS A DEMONSTRATION TO
DISPLAY MY SKILLS AS A ARCHITECT, SOLUTION ARCHITECT
AND TECHNICAL SME. THIS DIAGRAM REPRESENTS A
WORKFLOW ENVIRONMENT SUPPORTING A HUMAN
WORKFLOW HUB (HWH) AND AN ENTERPRISE SERVICES
WORKFLOW (ESW). THE HWH SUPPORTS LONG-RUNNING
WORKFLOWS INITIATED BY A HUMAN AND REQUIRES
HUMAN INTERACTION TO USHER THE WORKFLOW TO
COMPLETION. THE ESW SUPPORTS SYSTEM TO SYSTEM
WORKFLOWS THAT ARE BOTH SHORT-RUNNING AND
LONG-RUNNING WORKFLOWS THAT HAVE THE POTENTIAL
TO BE SYNCHRONOUS AND ASYNCHRONOUS. THE
ENVIRONMENT FULFILLS THE BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS OF
A SYSTEM THAT HAS 24X7X365 AVAILABILITY EVEN
DURING DEPLOYMENTS OF NEW CODE AND WORKFLOWS
AND MUST SUPPORT 2000 TRANSACTIONS PER SECOND
(TPS).

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE (order
of
relevance)
Bank of America, Jacksonville FL Oct 2009 – Sep 2012
Solution Architect (Design Team Lead) Oct 2009 – Sep 2012
As a solution architect in a matrix organization I was assigned to projects initiated by a sponsor
from a Line of Business (LOB). During my project on-boarding period I consulted with my client
to understand their business requirements. The common theme was for the business to,
unintentionally, provide a solution for their problem verses clearly state their problem and allow

26. Sapp – Page 2
me to provide options for a solution. Having the ability to keenly listen to “what” the client is
saying and translate their needs into both a nontechnical conversation and requirements as well as
technical conversation and requirements ensured my ability to properly solution their needs. The
business was offered more than one solution to choose from, which gave them ownership for their
new direction and gave me support for the entirety of the project. As I prepared to leave a project
I completed the assignment by presenting to the entire project team the design artifacts to ensure
everyone understood every document of the design. We reviewed each design from the high level
design to the low level design where details of memory, storage, JVM heap sizes, software
interfaces, connectivity protocols, load balancing details and more are documented.
Bank of America; Jacksonville, Florida; Sep 2012 - Present
Portfolio Assessment Architect
As an Assessment Architect I am required to locate risk of any and all types associated to
applications within our Line of Business’ (LOB) application portfolio. In a 4 week timeframe I
completely deconstruct an application and I document in descriptive detail the interaction and
interfaces of all upstream and downstream applications. I search for faults in the application that
have the potential to cripple Bank of America and expose them to reputational risks that could
cause negative media, regulatory risks that could result in fines and financial risks that could reduce
the profit margins for Bank of America. After deconstructing and describing in detail the
application I document the findings with recommendations for removing the risks for the interim
and direction for the future against the enterprise application roadmap. The findings are presented
to the entire application support team which includes the levels 2 & 3 support teams, application
owner(s), and everyone all the way up to the application executive. During the presentation of the
findings the application team is allowed to refute any part of the findings. If there is disagreement,
discussions are held and corrections are made to ensure the findings are as accurate as possible and
solidifying Bank of America’s protection and removal of unnecessary risk.
Bi-Lo Holdings (Winn Dixie), Jacksonville FL Sep 2012 – Sep 2013
Manager IT Infrastructure Mainframe, Linux, Data Transport
Upon on-boarding with Bi-Lo Holdings I was immediately tasked with reviewing the enterprise
and looking for opportunities for efficient growth and the removal of risk in the infrastructure
areas. As I quickly learned the Bi-Lo retail arena and how Bi-Lo was managing the day-to-day
business of the interactions between systems. I documented opportunities and begin to gain buy-
in from my peers for needed change. I had to learn the culture quickly so I could gain trust as the
new manager. The Bi-Lo culture allowed me to gain buy-in through small group meetings with my
peers, their teams and the key Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) from my teams. As teams and
organizations extended trust to me and my teams they also extended to me their troubles, issues
and problems to supply solutions. Quickly issues and outages and missing data, for other teams,
became quickly recoverable or a thing of the past, which made my teams’ abilities a highly desired
commodity. After reaching a solid period of stability I tasked my teams with a change for a
homogonous network where we moved little data, but make data available to all who needed it
with as low a risk factor as possible. We concluded the General Parallel File System (GPFS)
platform offered by IBM. After the proof of concept my team concluded we were able to move
data at a rate of up to 300% faster than our old way of doing business. Once GPFS was
implemented and the first application was allowed to take advantage of the platform there was a
significant efficiency recognition for a grocery ordering system. Previously the system completed
orders at approximately 8 minutes per order and was reduced to 1 minute or less to complete the
same orders. In a parallel effort to move Bi-Lo Holdings to a Service Oriented Architecture

(SOA) environment from an ad hoc data movement perspective we migrated from an FTP hub
and spoke to a SOA environment for daily retail sales. The solution provided a long-term solution
that prevents the compromise of daily retail data.
Trinsic Communications, Inc, Atlanta GA 2000 - 2007
Director Application Support 2005 - 2007
As the director for a telecom company stability was extremely important along with having the
ability to function at a high rate of efficiency during times of crisis. As the owner of all application
support, I was the owner of system uptime as well as downtime. To maximize system availability I
ensured all people in my organization were current on their abilities to support every application in
my portfolio through training programs and mentoring. I mentored my direct reports and hosted
one-on-one sessions with them bi-weekly and more often if needed. All support teams under my
responsibility were 24x7x365 teams with very strict timelines for system correction and escalation,
if needed. The culture I grew was one of learning and the ability to think on your own without
consequence. Reasonable mistakes were allowed as long as we could learn from them and propel
the team forward preventing anyone else from making those mistakes catastrophically. In a time
of financial need I architected an open source high availability system using JBoss HA. Once
designed and a proof of concept reviewed by my peers we implemented the solution. The
implementation forged a $145K/year savings in service contracts elimination assisting with some
much needed financial relief.
Brand Energy & Infrastructure, Kennesaw GA 2007– 2009
Application Support Manager
While at Brand I managed a team of 27 developers and a helpdesk staff of 4 who supported over
1500 users across a worldwide footprint. I directly managed onshore, near shore and offshore
resources. My teams were not only the people who created new applications, patched the old
applications and changed passwords for those who were locked out of their accounts but my teams
were also the face of support for every person in the “field” directly responsible for generating
revenue to the company’s bottom line. Our actions had the potential to assist with making a multi-
million dollar deal happen in minutes or make a multi-million dollar deal happen for our
competitor just down the street if we were derelict of our responsibilities. Upon taking over the
helpdesk regular trouble tickets took a minimum of 8 days to complete simple tasks such as a name
change for a new bride, which is very important for her. After I pulled the raw data and created a
matrix that pointed out why trouble ticket management was so bleak I reorganized the team and
implemented proper Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and clear and concise reporting for each
individual. The team immediately began to take ownership of their individual areas of
responsibility which immediately reduced the turnaround time for ticket completion. In an 8
month timeframe 98% of all trouble tickets were closed in 4 hours or less. In a parallel effort my
development team was tasked with a major project to rewrite the legacy billing system into an ERP
system from a customized and extremely faulty Microsoft Access program which gave great
exposure to theft of cash along with maintaining our Business as Usual (BAU). Upon completion
of the first phase of the project the company realized a faster billing turnaround and ultimately a
larger receipt of cash from invoices in both the Canadian and US regions. The company and its
investors received a positive ROI due to more accurate billing and cash collection as well as an
exceeded implementation goal by 400%.
