Indeed, the mercy of Allah is near to the doers of good.

Explore the future of IT at UCSB with “Architecting Tomorrow,” a short film introducing our Enterprise Architecture group! This video provides an engaging, animated look into who we are, what we do, and our vision for a more connected and efficient technological landscape at UCSB.

In this video, you’ll meet the expert team dedicated to bridging the gap between vision and implementation in IT. We’ll cover:

Why It Matters: Discover why architecture is crucial in IT, helping to manage complexity, ensure sustainability, and bring clarity and alignment to technology solutions at UCSB. We embrace best practices, stay cutting-edge, ensure consistency, and plan for the future, acting as guides rather than enforcers.

What’s Next: See how we aim to be a valuable resource for you through consultation, guidance, review, and collaboration. We are also looking to define how our group best fits future needs, elevate common pain points, and develop a pattern for Cloud Native Application Development to accelerate innovation and improve reliability. Our plans also include standardizing and strengthening the data foundation, advancing analytical reporting capabilities, and enabling scalable, intelligent data use.

This presentation highlights our collective expertise in AWS Certified Solutions Architecture, large-scale software system design, data analytics, big data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, coupled with an in-depth understanding of Campus business processes and domains.

We guide, not gatekeep, bridging vision to execution—together.

Those who know or follow me know I had my own Sole proprietorship in the early 1990s. I am very proud of what I did with my business back then; unfortunately, I had to close that business eventually due to demand from my daytime job. Recently, I started a new YouTube channel based on my old business name, “iGluon.” I have a lot of ideas to create content that users may find helpful. But for now, I posted a few videos; the acceptance was incredible. In less than a month, my channel got over 8,000 views. My subscriber grew from 3 to 28 also. This is good progress, and I would love to keep up the momentum.
