Lead SaaS-first integration strategies (Salesforce, ServiceNow, AEM) and establish API-first design standards across the portfolio
Architect cloud-native solutions on AWS leveraging serverless (Lambda, Step Functions, EventBridge, API Gateway), containers (ECS/EKS), data services (DynamoDB, Aurora, S3, Glue, Athena), and appropriate caching (CloudFront, Redis/ElastiCache)
Define event-driven patterns for loose coupling, reliability, and scale; introduce contract testing, idempotency, and dead-letter strategies
Codify standards (reference architectures, ADRs, RFCs, architecture guardrails) and embed them into AI tools (Amazon Q Developer, GitHub Copilot) so they are discoverable at the point of work
Lead frontend architecture for agent/customer experiences using React/TypeScript and PWA patterns; ensure mobile-first, responsive design optimized for field productivity
Drive integration and orchestration via modern iPaaS; standardize patterns for SaaS connectivity, event enrichment, and process automation
Partner with data/ML teams to enable Python-based analytics/ML, real-time insights, and ML-in-the-loop experiences where applicable (e.g., recommendations, personalization)
Establish security-by-design practices—zero trust, encryption everywhere, least-privilege IAM, secret management, and compliance automation (e.g., AWS Security Hub, IAM Access Analyzer)
Champion DevSecOps: IaC (AWS CDK/Terraform), CI/CD, blue/green and canary deployments, automated testing and observability (OpenTelemetry, CloudWatch, X-Ray, Datadog/New Relic)
Collaborate closely with business stakeholders and product leaders—turn agent/customer needs into platform capabilities and iterative roadmaps
Mentor engineers and solution teams on modern patterns, AI-enabled delivery, and pragmatic, outcome-focused engineering
