Build complete applications rapidly across any technology stack, select the right tools for each problem, and define clear criteria for prototype-to-production transitions.

• Generative AI: Architect RAG systems for complex use cases across teams, implement advanced techniques (hybrid search, reranking, query expansion), mentor engineers on RAG best practices, and establish RAG standards. Lead evaluation strategy across teams, establishing annotation guidelines, training human-calibrated LLM judges, and building evaluation pipelines that connect tracing to datasets to experiments.

• People: Build high-performing teams across your area, navigate complex interpersonal dynamics, foster psychological safety, and create environments where diverse perspectives are valued. Influence through communication at all levels — from frontline to executive. Handle difficult conversations skilfully and train engineers in your area on effective communication.

• AI-Augmented Development: Optimise AI tool usage across teams in your area, train engineers on AI-augmented and agentic engineering workflows, evaluate new AI development tools, and establish practices that balance AI speed with verification rigour.

• Scale: Design complex multi-component systems end-to-end, evaluate architectural options for large initiatives across teams, guide technical decisions for your area, and mentor engineers on architecture. Create debt reduction strategies across teams, influence roadmap decisions to include debt work, and teach engineers when to accept debt for speed versus when to invest in quality.

• Documentation: Define documentation standards across teams in your area, create documentation systems and templates, train engineers on spec-driven development, and ensure documentation quality across projects. Lead pattern generalization initiatives, defining criteria for when to generalize versus keep custom.

• Reliability: Define reliability standards across teams in your area, drive post-incident improvements systematically, design capacity planning processes, andmentor engineers on SRE practices.
