WHAT WILL YOU DO?

For instance, why are you ordering a physical machine instead of using internal cloud? Why are you using Redis over MemSQL? Why are you pulling X from RBCAppA instead of RBCAppB? Etc..
• Represent department needs in enterprise-wide initiatives. For instance, speak with developers in capital markets to understand what our needs are from an enterprise observability stack, and ensure the central offering meets our functional and non-functional requirements.
