Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolK Fowlks is an experienced Information Technologist III with over a decade building and architecting Java/JEE enterprise systems, middleware, and identity/security integrations at Michigan State University. He specializes in designing high-performance SOAP/REST services, JMS-based integrations, and JAAS-driven authorization frameworks while also administering app servers (JBoss, Tomcat), Oracle databases, and clustered deployments behind F5 load balancers. As a lead solutions architect he blends hands-on development with customer-facing solution design and has driven migrations, IAM centralization, and host-to-host integration platforms for large university systems. His background spans full SDLC work from legacy ASP and GIS apps to modern Java stacks, and he pairs deep infrastructure skills (SAN, RHEL, SAN zoning, Oracle tuning) with pragmatic automation and troubleshooting. He’s equally comfortable prototyping for fun and delivering production-critical services, bringing a rarely combined perspective of developer, architect, and systems administrator.
