- Define the software architecture of solutions and applications (domain modeling, service decomposition, API contracts, and integration patterns) as well as the cloud infrastructure architecture.
- Design distributed systems architectures with high availability, scalability, and fault tolerance.
- Define and document end-to-end solutions on AWS, considering cost, security, performance, and operability (pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework).
- Architect serverless solutions with AWS Lambda (Python), including orchestration patterns, idempotency, and event handling.
- Model the data layer on RDS PostgreSQL (schemas, performance, scalability, integrity).
- Guide the architecture of front-end applications in Angular integrated via AWS AppSync (GraphQL).
- Lead the design of solutions and agents based on Kiro and Anthropic models (agent orchestration, prompts/context, guardrails, and quality evaluation).
- Drive architecture decisions (ADRs), technical trade-offs, and design reviews.
Service Management & Delivery
- Technically lead the engineering team, being responsible for delivering the project with quality and on schedule.
- Translate the architecture into an execution plan, breaking work into incremental deliverables and prioritizing the technical backlog together with Product/PM.
