Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKelly Stuard is a Principal Architect with 12 years of experience designing and modernizing enterprise-grade, cloud-born microservice and SaaS systems used by Fortune 500 clients. She has repeatedly led full-lifecycle transformations—breaking monoliths into micro-frontends and microservices, implementing infrastructure-as-code, and orchestrating zero-downtime migrations while balancing business continuity. A hands-on mentor and code reviewer, Kelly has built and scaled onshore and offshore teams, established enterprise architecture governance, and chaired advisory boards to enforce technical standards. She pairs deep technical execution (including back-end contributions to the open-source Glimpse diagnostics platform and CLS compatibility work) with clear communication of complex concepts to non-technical stakeholders. Recent roles include leading enterprise architecture at PMI, shaping ecommerce modernization at Medline, and serving on Okta’s Customer Advisory Board, reflecting both practitioner and strategic influence. Based in Vernon Hills, IL, she also brings a practical knack for proving concepts—such as RAG-based GPT-4 project assistants and data-governance POCs—that accelerate adoption across organizations.
