Skills

Agile Methodology - Agile project management is an iterative approach to delivering a project throughout its life cycle, taking incremental steps towards the completion of a project.

Architecture Frameworks - Proficiency in widely used architecture frameworks like TOGAF (The Open Group Architecture Framework) or Zachman Framework to structure and organize architectural artifacts and processes.

Authentic Communicator - Expresses ideas and information, both verbally and in writing, clearly and credibly. Listens to understand and fosters constructive dialogue.

Business Acumen - Applies knowledge of MPC’s business, industry and the marketplace to advance the organization’s goals. Makes decisions and recommendations clearly linked to MPC’s strategy.

Cloud Computing - Knowing how to manage cloud services, develop cloud applications and use cloud architecture to meet customer needs.

Continuous Improvement Mindset - Identifies and leads opportunities for continuous improvement and value creation, both incremental and large-scale.

DevSecOps - A set of practices that automates the integration of security at every phase of the software development lifecycle, from initial design through integration, testing, deployment, and software delivery, with an aim towards

shortening the systems development life cycle and pas well as continuous delivery and a security first approach.

Edge Computing - Edge computing refers to the decentralized processing of data near the source of data generation, reducing latency and bandwidth usage by performing computations closer to the devices or sensors producing the data.

This approach aims to enhance efficiency, responsiveness, and real-time capabilities in computing systems by

distributing computing tasks to the "edge" of the network, rather than relying solely on centralized cloud servers.

Functional Expertise - A strong understanding of various technologies, platforms, and systems relevant to the organization's architecture, such as networking, databases, cloud computing, and security.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) - The process of managing and provisioning infrastructure through code instead of through manual processes.

Internet of Things (IoT) - Familiarity with IoT concepts and protocols, as well as experience designing architectures that incorporate IoT devices and enable seamless connectivity and data exchange.

Performance Monitoring - The process of measuring the performance of a system in real time in order to determine problems and identify other factors that may cause problems in the future.

Process Orchestration - Process orchestration refers to the coordination and management of various tasks, activities, and resources within a workflow or business process. It involves organizing, sequencing, and automating individual tasks or sub-processes to ensure that the overall process operates smoothly and efficiently. Process orchestration

typically involves integrating disparate systems, applications, and services to streamline operations and improve

collaboration across different parts of an organization. It often employs workflow management tools, automation

software, and integration platforms to facilitate communication, data exchange, and decision-making among

different components of the process. The goal of process orchestration is to optimize the flow of work, minimize

delays and bottlenecks and enhance overall productivity and performance.

Strategic Outlook - Examines issues, generates ideas, creates future scenarios and develops plans with a long-term perspective. Ensures short-term goals support long-term strategy and that organizational/functional strategy aligns with and supports MPC’s overall business strategy.

System Reliability - Reliability refers to the ability of a system or component to consistently perform its intended function without failure, errors, or breakdowns. High availability, on the other hand, denotes the design and implementation of systems to ensure continuous operation and accessibility, minimizing downtime and ensuring users can access services whenever needed.

Systems Design - The process of designing technical solutions and systems to meet specified business and user requirements that are compatible with established system architectures, as well as organizational and performance standards.
