• Learn new/trending/emerging languages/technologies/open-source frameworks & architectures quickly & apply to the project.
• Ensure high level of software quality at project level by adapting lean yet effective state of art practices.
• Contribute to the architecture for more than one domain.
• Inspire team by becoming a role model via exhibiting the vigorous crave for excellence.

Mentoring and Technical Leadership

• Enable the team to make high-level design/architecture choices & implement them.
• Lead the Team technically.
• Contribute to the Technical & Business Proposals
• Coordinate with the Engineering Managers/Customers/Stakeholders
• Support recruitment by evaluating architect, designing & coding skills.
• Mentor the team members, give them directions, empower them with right tools/methodologies & make a cohesive work environment through Lead by Example
• Mentor new/small project teams to ramp-up in-addition to the current responsibilities.
• Mentor & Coach sizeable associates in the group to scale to trending technologies, state of art technologies and methodologies.
• Create platform/process for distributed cross location teams to work together smoothly with highest coordination.
