• Serve as a trusted consultant. Advise teams on platforms, technologies, and vendor solutions that best support our business goals.
• Spot risks and opportunities. Monitor systems and applications to identify technical debt, legacy constraints, and improvement opportunities—and recommend smart, forward‑thinking solutions.
