Define architecture blueprints, reference implementations, and best practices for workflow orchestration and stateful service design.
Collaborate with client engineering teams to evaluate, onboard, and scale workflow solutions.
Guide decisions around data consistency, reliability patterns (sagas, retries, compensation), and observability.
Conduct architecture reviews and provide technical governance across multiple concurrent projects.
Partner with internal solution teams to establish accelerators, templates, and frameworks for rapid client adoption.
Mentor engineers and provide architectural leadership within the organization.
