- Ensure compliance with architectural governance, security best practices, and performance requirements.
Technical Leadership & Problem Solving
- Provide guidance on distributed transaction management and consistency models in microservices.
- Evaluate and recommend data-management strategies (e.g., ACID vs BASE, eventual consistency).
