• Act as the escalation point for the most complex technical challenges faced by delivery teams, guiding them in troubleshooting and ensuring the integrity of the original design.

• Validate that the final implementation of solutions aligns with the defined architecture, ensuring quality and operational excellence.

• Establish and maintain a cloud architecture governance framework within the account, ensuring compliance with both Kyndryl and client standards.
