• Develop assessments and target-state designs that provide clients with a clear, credible path from legacy environments to modernized solutions.
• Lead discovery and planning activities with clients to define problem statements, desired business outcomes, success criteria, technical constraints, and delivery priorities.
• Champion spec-driven development by clearly documenting requirements, architectural intent, non-functional expectations, architecture decision records (ADRs), and acceptance criteria.
• Promote a modern developer experience, including the effective and responsible use of AI-assisted tools to accelerate legacy analysis and improve productivity, quality, and feedback cycles.
