Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolShawna Paradee is a principal solution architect with 25 years of experience designing resilient, enterprise-grade platforms that fuse cloud, full-stack, and geospatial systems. She excels at project recovery and politically sensitive engagements, calming technical chaos and uniting executives, engineers, and delivery teams around clear, executable roadmaps. Based in Olympia, WA, Shawna blends hands-on architecture (IaC, serverless, ETL/ELT) with people-first leadership and executive storytelling to translate complex technical tradeoffs into business-ready decisions. Her background spans startups, global NGOs, and Fortune 100s, with deep domain experience in GIS and geospatial intelligence that informs scalable data and application designs. Recognized by Marquis Who’s Who and archived in the Library of Congress for 2025, she pairs a novelist’s discipline—she’s revising a suspense novel—with a penchant for overengineered home renovations and music composition. The result: a pragmatic, empathetic technologist who restores trust and delivers measurable outcomes in the toughest engagements.
