Champion Architectural Rigor: Oversee technical validations, proofs of concept (POCs), and architectural reviews for high-concurrency, mission-critical consumer and business applications. Establish metrics and KPIs to measure evaluation efficiency, technical win rates, and customer time-to-value. Serve as an Executive Technical Sponsor: Act as an active executive sponsor on Tier-1 opportunities.
