• Engineering Leadership: Act as the bridge between high-level strategy and execution, working deeply with in-house and nearshore squads to ensure code-level adherence to architectural standards.
• Legacy Modernisation: Lead the aggressive transition from monolithic debt to decoupled, cloud-native microservices and server-less architectures.
