• Drive Security Reference Architectures and Hardening Patterns, systematically recording and publishing critical Architecture Risk Decisions (ARDs).

• Design and implement robust data loss prevention (DLP) and disaster recovery/business continuity capabilities to ensure zero-disruption platform resiliency.

• Lead technical governance by defining standards and evaluating new demands against platform capabilities and industry best practices.

• Influence senior stakeholders by communicating complex technical strategies and partnering closely to align platform security with evolving business needs.

• Optimize platform health by guiding design considerations for performance, integration, and remediation of configurations to maintain a "clean-core" environment.

• Mentor and develop architectural talent across the organization, serving as a recognized leader in secure coding and architecture practices.
