- Refine those designs together with application specialists into concrete, plannable work.
- Zoom out to see the bigger picture and make architecture decisions in the client's best interest, independent of any single vendor.
- Judge when to engage a specific platform or vendor and when to step back and run a market evaluation (build vs. buy, selecting the right system for the need).
- Make and document architecture decisions, balancing scalability, security, performance and cost.
- Design API‑driven and integration approaches across applications, services and third‑party systems.
- Safeguard non‑functional requirements throughout the project lifecycle.
- Translate complex technical topics into clear language for business and C‑level stakeholders.
- Identify technical risks and dependencies early, and propose pragmatic mitigations.

- Technology‑ and vendor‑agnostic by instinct, with broad familiarity across CRM, ERP, data platforms, cloud providers and integration.
- Ability to zoom out, weigh build vs. buy, and conduct market evaluations when needed.
- Strong command of integration patterns and API‑driven architecture.
- Excellent communication skills to engage C‑level stakeholders and unite teams around a shared technical direction.
