Hello, I'm

Mona Borham

Enterprise Ready AI. Cloud Native Modernization. Platform Architecture.

Architecting Sovereign AI Backbones and Cloud Native Platforms. I bridge the gap between legacy and production-grade Intelligence through automated, resilient, and secure Platform Architecture.

About Me

I specialize in the architectural execution of Cloud Native Modernization and Sovereign Enterprise-Ready AI. With 18+ years of experience—including senior roles at VMware and as a TAG DevEx Co-Chair—I bridge the gap between complex legacy estates and production-grade, observable platforms.

My focus is on building resilient Platform Architectures that empower engineering teams to own and operate the next generation of Enterprise AI with confidence. I provide strategic advisory and hands-on enablement for organizations navigating the shift toward automated, secure, and sovereign workloads.

Speaking next

Expertise

Platform

Designing the Internal Developer Platform (IDP) that abstracts away infrastructure complexity.

The Focus: Creating a unified control plane using Cloud Native technologies to provide self-service capabilities for engineering teams.

Outcome: A consistent, scalable environment that reduces cognitive load for developers.

Gitops

Declarative infrastructure and Continuous Delivery.

The Help: Implementing ArgoCD and GitOps workflows to ensure that the platform state is always versioned, auditable, and recoverable.

Outcome: High-velocity delivery performance with zero manual "toil."

Observability

Reliability Engineering & Runtime Transparency.

The Help: Building Observability-driven architectures (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana) to monitor not just the "plumbing," but the health of the applications and AI agents.

Outcome: Resilient systems that self-heal and provide clear operational insights.

AI

GenAI Backbone & Agentic Workflows.

The Help: Architecting the Sovereign AI Backbone—securing agents with MCP and Keycloak and ensuring AI workloads are production-grade.

Outcome: Moving AI from "experimental chatbot" to a governed, integrated enterprise asset.

Engagement Models

Architectural Advisory Sprints

The Focus:Bridging the gap between high-level strategy and production-grade execution through time-bound, technical deep-dives.

Best for: Organizations requiring a Senior Architect-Practitioner to design Sovereign AI roadmaps, audit platform resilience, or lead VCF/Azure modernization.

The Deliverable: A validated Technical Blueprint followed by a Functional Pilot (MVP)—ensuring the architecture is not just theoretical, but operationally sound and ready for the engineering team to scale.

Strategic Partner Collaboration (P2P)

The Focus: Providing Senior Architectural Authority as a specialized "Strike Team" for complex, high-stakes enterprise engagements.

Best for: Bridging the Expertise Gap in large-scale transformations where trust and deep technical execution are critical to project success.

The Deliverable: High-level architectural steering and "Critical Path" Engineering—closing the trust gap with stakeholders by ensuring the core platform remains production-grade, observable, and secure.

Expert Enablement & Advanced Training

The Focus: Practitioner-led knowledge transfer designed to build internal engineering capability.

Best for: Teams moving beyond standard curriculum.

The Deliverable: Hands-on workshops that move your team from "learning the tool" with 18 years of field-tested best practices.
