Establish integration standards, data/API contracts, identity resolution, and governance to reduce fragmentation and duplication.
Partner with engineering and data teams on solution designs, technical reviews, and delivery sequencing.
Ensure architectural decisions meet security, privacy, compliance, scalability, and reliability requirements.
