N.A Architecture CoE Lead
Actions
I am a Technologist, originally from England, currently living in Charlotte, NC.
I work at Avanade, which is part of Accenture, and I lead the Application Architecture for North America.
I love working with technology and people, finding ways to improve the lives of humans through the use of technology.
My work at Avanade is helping find solutions for our customer's problems, training and mentoring employees, and building a community of learning, sharing, and collaboration both internally and with our clients.

Microservices without REST
As many organizations make their first moves to Microservices, they focus heavily on the micro and concentrate on breaking their applications up. They use familiar approaches to making these components communicate and cooperate, such as RPC, HTTP/REST and Web APIs. These solutions provide a number of new problems from service discovery and load balancing to long call chains and managing transactions.
Using alternative communication patterns based on Events and Message Oriented Middleware is not a brand new concept, but with modern message broker technology and cloud platforms, we can solve these microservices problems without trading them for new ones.
We will look at patterns that enable us to build fully asynchronous, event driven, transactional, microservices based systems, answering question such as: "How do we make them reliable?", "How do we manage transactions?" and "How do we move from our existing systems to these new approaches?"
Technology for the Infinite Game
Friedman economics has given us a short term view on business, which has affected the way we have approached technology for business, influencing our architecture patterns, delivery methodologies, and overall approaches.
What if we could change our approach to business, seeing it as an Infinite Game. What would be the technology approaches we would need.
We will explain the Infinite Game, and explore evolutionary architecture patterns that allow us to build business systems that we can keep evolving over time, leaving the big-bang rewrites in the past.
