• Proven track record delivering scalable, distributed applications in the cloud (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• Fluency in data integration, event-driven architectures, and customer-centric design.
• Ability to guide teams, engage C-level stakeholders, and make strategic technical decisions with commercial awareness.
