• Data Migration: Define technical approaches for profiling, mapping, migrating, validating, and reconciling data from legacy or heavily customized systems.
• Technical Governance: Review technical designs, oversee development standards, evaluate customization needs, and ensure platform upgrades do not compromise existing functionality.
• Functional Alignment: Collaborate with functional leads and government SMEs to ensure architecture supports complex cannabis licensing ordinances, inspection processes, enforcement workflows, and fee management.
• Security and Auditability: Design controls for permissions, separation of duties, audit logging, secure data exchange, and financial transaction integrity.
