• Lead technical workshops and client design sessions to define technical strategy and manage scope, acting as the primary bridge between high-level business goals and technical feasibility.
• Manage Integration Syncs with on+offshore development teams, providing the oversight necessary.
• Outline and oversee the end-to-end Data Migration Plan, ensuring the successful execution of complex migrations to power autonomous innovation and customer service excellence.
• Champion modern development best practices while maintaining hands-on involvement in the project's health by actively triaging reported bugs and ensuring technical milestones are met.
