- Designing and delivering cloud-native solutions within AWS
- Defining microservices and distributed system architectures
- Designing solutions using event-driven architecture principles
- Applying Domain-Driven Design (DDD) to complex technology environments
- Working directly with engineering teams to turn architecture into working solutions
- Assessing and selecting appropriate technologies and tooling, proving approaches alongside engineers
- Ensuring architectural solutions are practical, scalable and capable of being implemented successfully
- Supporting the transition from Legacy applications towards a modern distributed technology landscape
- Communicating complex technical concepts clearly to both engineering teams and wider stakeholders
