- Lead architecture and technical strategy for large Azure programs and portfolios so solutions meet client goals for value, security, scalability, reliability, performance, and cost.
- Define modernization blueprints and reference architectures across applications, platforms, and data, including system and subsystem designs, patterns, and standards that simplify delivery and operations over time.
- Translate business and product strategy into cloud architecture roadmaps and execution plans that drive measurable outcomes and adapt based on production feedback and telemetry.
- Guide major architecture decisions across programs, promote shared design standards and reusable models, and resolve high-impact technical trade-offs.
- Work across teams to connect solutions into cohesive end-to-end architectures with clear ownership boundaries and integration contracts.
- Provide architectural oversight during delivery through design reviews, forums, and governance, keeping cross-cutting concerns (security, performance, resilience, availability, compliance, observability, and cost) aligned across teams.
- Promote modular design, clear boundaries, testability, CI/CD, and observability so non-functional requirements are treated as first-class and systems remain reliable and maintainable.
- Use AI tools to accelerate discovery, design, code, tests, documentation, and analysis
