Background

About Fernando Solis

Fernando Solis works as an AI Enterprise Architect and Engineering Manager, focusing on the practical challenges of implementing AI in enterprise technology environments. With a decade of experience spanning software engineering to team leadership, Fernando has learned to navigate the gap between AI's potential and operational reality. He designs the infrastructure and data systems that support AI deployments, while managing multidisciplinary teams of data scientists, developers, and engineers. At Ernst & Young, Fernando works on AI implementations across industries from healthcare to government, with specialized focus on technology sector challenges. His role involves both technical architecture - cloud platforms, containerization, ML operations - and guiding teams through complex enterprise integrations. The most challenging aspects often involve legacy system constraints and compliance requirements rather than the AI itself. Fernando manages both onshore and offshore engineering teams, translating architectural concepts into functioning software. He's particularly interested in problems where standard approaches don't fit - where teams need to adapt existing enterprise infrastructure to support new AI capabilities. His experience has taught him that successful AI deployment is less about breakthrough technology and more about understanding how organizations actually work, then building systems that fit those operational realities.
