Vendor & partner leadership. Set technical direction for services partners, review SOWs, and hold vendors to measurable engineering outcomes

SDLC leadership. Track record improving delivery speed and quality through architecture runway, quality gates, and CI/CD; comfortable mentoring engineers and guiding code quality
Reliability mindset. Experience with performance tuning, capacity planning, caching/CDN, and production observability (APM, logs, traces, dashboards, alerts)
