Establish and enforce engineering standards: code quality, security, automated testing, and documentation.
Build, mentor, and scale a high‑performing team of full‑time engineers and contractors; manage performance and develop future technical leaders.
Own end‑to‑end delivery across agile teams — sprint planning, backlog refinement, estimation, and capacity planning — for predictable, high‑quality releases.
