Evaluate and implement emerging technologies (AI, ML) to enhance business capabilities and competitive advantage. Act as a trusted advisor to senior executives and IT leaders, shaping the organization's technology transformation journey. Cloud & DevSecOps Architecture: Lead cloud adoption and optimization strategies, architecting scalable, resilient, and cost-effective multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud environments. Define cloud reference architectures and best practices for serverless, containerized, and microservices-based applications. Implement DevSecOps best practices, including CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes, AKS), and cloud security.

Security & Compliance Architecture: Establish enterprise security architecture frameworks, ensuring alignment with zero-trust principles, IAM, and cybersecurity best practices. Collaborate with the CISO and security teams to implement security-by-design principles across all architecture domains. Ensure adherence to regulatory compliance (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST, financial and industry-specific regulations). Leadership & Collaboration: Act as a thought leader in enterprise architecture, influencing strategic IT investments and driving transformation initiatives. Work closely with engineering, data, security, and business teams to ensure successful execution of enterprise architecture strategies.
