James Illingworth

Following redundancy from Allianz Insurance plc, I formed jrwi solutions limited as a means to continue to provide professional systems development and architecture services.

I am, however, currently exclusively employed as a Solution Architect for an organisation undergoing significant transformation, so I am NOT actively seeking contract work or permanent employment elsewhere.

That said, If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find me… – James Illingworth, 24/7/2018

A Senior Systems Development Professional
As a highly-motivated and pragmatic Systems Development professional, I excel at driving Business value from architecture, systems, processes, and people in fast-changing and ambitious organisations. With a wealth of technical and architectural skills, I am effective at influencing and shaping IT strategy and architectural vision in partnership with Business stakeholders, and realising it through close involvement in all stages of delivery; managing, mentoring, and guiding multi-disciplinary teams through the full development lifecycle into Production and beyond. With experience of Agile and a more traditional SDLC, I am able to use and leverage multiple, parallel deliveries using scenario appropriate techniques.
A Systems Architect
A practicing solution and systems architect, I can work comfortably up and down the technical stack, embracing design and ownership of the Enterprise Systems Continuum. Working closely with Enterprise Architecture, Information Security, Solution Architecture, and Development, I am experienced in collaboratively designing strategic and tactical system, application, and data solutions.
TOGAF Certified
The TOGAF® Standard, a standard of The Open Group, is a proven Enterprise Architecture methodology and framework used by the world’s leading organizations to improve business efficiency. I studied, and qualified, for TOGAF9 certification in 2017.
