- Build and maintain reference architectures, reusable frameworks, and reference implementations that accelerate enterprise adoption.
- Collaborate with product and engineering teams to transition validated PoCs into production‑ready patterns.
Enablement, Teaching & Change Leadership
- Act as a consultative leader, teaching and enabling engineers and teams to become AI‑native.
- Develop high‑quality documentation, best‑practice guidance, training materials, and step‑by‑step tutorials.
- Partner with internal enablement groups to publish and socialize new standards and practices.
- Support organizational change efforts by identifying adoption barriers and recommending strategies to drive alignment and engagement.
Community Engagement & Feedback Loops
- Host recurring office hours to support teams adopting AI‑native tools and workflows.
- Troubleshoot issues and provide tailored guidance based on real‑world usage.
