- Drive best practices for REST APIs, WebSockets, async models, and event-driven architecture.
- Ensure platform scalability, performance, resilience, observability, and high availability (HA/DR).
- Standardize architectural patterns across microservices, API contracts, and integration workflows.

Cloud, Infrastructure & DevOps

- Lead AWS workload design and governance across compute, networking, storage, IAM, and monitoring.
- Govern Kubernetes deployments including orchestration, auto-scaling, cluster governance, and resiliency.
- Mature SRE and DevSecOps practices across CI/CD, GitOps, infrastructure automation, and operational playbooks.
- Drive Cloud Cost Optimization through data-driven architecture and resource utilization strategies.

Data, Storage, Messaging & Integration

- Develop strategy for supporting OLTP and OLAP workloads across relational and NoSQL databases.
- Oversee performance, HA/DR,



and scaling across PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and analytical data platforms.
- Govern Kafka and RabbitMQ messaging frameworks for distributed and event-based workloads.
- Scale Change Data Capture (CDC) pipelines for real-time data synchronization across services.
- Lead data pipelines and ETL/ELT flows with a focus on reliability, encryption, lineage, and compliance.
- Ensure Redis-based caching delivers consistent low-latency performance for critical workloads.

Security & Compliance

- Champion secure SDLC, zero-trust engineering, and secure-by-design architecture.
- Enforce IAM governance, encryption, tokenization, secret management, and vulnerability remediation.
