Participate in strategic technology and vendor evaluations, including build, buy, reuse, modernize, consolidate, and retire decisions.
Partner with business and technology teams to translate strategic priorities into actionable architecture deliverables and technology initiatives.
Collaborate with Solution Architects, Technical Architects, engineering, infrastructure, security, data, and AI teams to resolve cross-domain architecture challenges and move decisions into execution.
