• Coach customers - document workflows, train users, and create playbooks that ensure solutions stick after handoff.
• Project-manage engagements - set realistic timelines, surface risks early, coordinate cross-functional stakeholders, and keep executives informed.
• Act as technical first responder during the critical first 90 days in production - triage issues, patch integrations, and optimize models based on real traffic.
