We validate solution decisions and collaborate with our engineering teams to ensure domain architectures are integrated into all detailed designs. We also nurture strong partnerships with our IT Operations teams to support continuous learning and shared growth from implemented architectures.

• Excel at uplifting engineering maturity through the introduction of new technologies, frameworks, and processes that enhance product development.
