Clean-room / Chinese Wall Discipline

• Demonstrated experience authoring specifications consumed by an isolated implementation team, including clean-room reverse engineering, regulated/defense work, or formal specification-to-vendor handoffs.

• Write requirements that are complete on first delivery, including every file path, import, configuration value, error message, and acceptance criterion.
• Produce specifications that meet a single-turn, no follow-up questions standard.
• Work within a strict clean-room process where implementation code is inaccessible and communication with developers is not permitted.
• Validate implementation solely through observable test outcomes rather than reviewing source code.

Product & Platform Responsibilities

• Define detailed technical product requirements for platform and data infrastructure initiatives.
• Create acceptance-criteria-driven specifications validated through automated test suites.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to translate business and technical requirements into precise implementation specifications.
• Ensure completeness, accuracy, and consistency of all technical documentation.
