Top SchoolShannon Eldridge-kuehn is a Principal Solutions Architect with nearly two decades of experience modernizing enterprise infrastructure into intelligent, secure, and cost-aware cloud platforms.

Shannon has built and led managed services and adoption programs, delivered large migrations and landing zones, and created automation, FinOps, and Kubernetes frameworks that measurably speed delivery and reduce risk.
