• Establish reference architectures and accelerators that encode proven patterns for common use cases, reducing time to market for teams while ensuring consistency in security, observability, performance, and operational resilience.
• Lead technical deep dives and design reviews for critical initiatives, providing architecture expertise that unblocks teams, validates approaches, and ensures solutions meet non-functional requirements, including scalability, security, compliance, and maintainability.
