Long term

Design microservice and API architectures for custom-built solutions; define service boundaries using Domain-Driven Design (DDD) principles. Architect event-driven integration patterns using Azure Service Bus; define message schemas, topic/subscription models, and error-handling strategies. Establish and enforce coding standards, design patterns, and engineering best practices across frontend (React) and backend (.NET / Python) teams. Ensure non-functional requirements (security, scalability, resiliency, observability) are embedded into all solution designs. Lead architecture and design reviews for new features, technical initiatives, and third-party integrations within assigned solutions. Produce and maintain architecture decision records (ADRs), high-level design (HLD) documents, and API specifications (OpenAPI/Swagger). Collaborate with product managers, UX designers, and engineering leads to shape technical roadmaps. Provide technical mentorship to senior engineers and conduct design and code reviews.
