- Role-based access control (RBAC)
- Identity and access management
- Monitoring and observability
- Ensure architecture aligns with federal security and compliance requirements.

Technical Leadership & Stakeholder Engagement

- Serve as the technical authority for Azure architecture across the program.
- Provide architectural guidance to DevOps engineers, cloud engineers, and development teams.
- Translate mission needs into technical architecture strategies and roadmaps.
- Communicate architecture approaches and tradeoffs to government stakeholders, ACIOs, and program leadership.
