Proofs of Concept & Reference Architectures
- Design and deliver proofs of concept that demonstrate practical, measurable applications of AI‑native engineering
- Build and maintain reference architectures and reusable frameworks that accelerate adoption
- Transition successful experiments into scalable, production‑ready patterns
Documentation, Training & Enablement
- Create high‑quality documentation, tutorials, and enablement assets that codify best practices
- Translate complex technical concepts into clear guidance for broad engineering audiences
- Partner with enablement teams to socialize standards and patterns across WWT
Research, Communication & Change Leadership
- Monitor AI and developer tooling ecosystems and translate changes into actionable insights
- Communicate findings, impact assessments, and updates to senior leaders and stakeholders
- Identify adoption barriers and help drive organizational change toward AI‑native ways of working
