- →Level up first-time and developing managers or tech leads via shadowing, rehearsal, and explicit success criteria
- →Foster a psychologically safe, low-ego culture with high standards for design reviews, code reviews, and post-incident learning
- →Drive predictable execution through roadmaps, sprint health, and on-time milestones
- →Uphold non-functional requirements including availability, performance at scale, and secure-by-default principles
- →Ensure modern testing strategy with contract/consumer-driven tests, performance budgets, and chaos/disaster-recovery exercises
