  • Lead design reviews, risk assessments and assurance gates; resolve complex Azure and hybrid issues spanning identity, integration, data and security.
  • Coordinate partner vendors and internal Theta squads to deliver end-to-end outcomes.
  • Coach other architects and engineers; contribute reusable patterns and thought-leadership to our national Architecture Community of Practice.
