Convert findings into technical specifications and spec-driven implementation plans for AI-assisted development teams.
Design, develop, refine, and govern reusable AI skills, agents, prompts, and workflows for reverse engineering, modernization, remediation, and verification.
Lead Java and .NET modernization, including runtime/framework, JAR/package, application server, OS, and infrastructure upgrades.
Drive security modernization, including migration from legacy LDAP authorization to Okta, OAuth/OIDC, JWT, and token-based security patterns.
Assess application dependencies and blast radius across databases, APIs, interfaces, shared libraries, batch processes, configurations, and deployment pipelines.
Preserve existing application architecture and behavior where required while enabling safe operation on target platforms.
Break modernization initiatives into development-ready increments and guide engineering pods through implementation.
Review AI-generated designs and code, perform technical reviews, and remain hands-on with complex or high-risk components.
Continuously improve AI agent effectiveness by capturing reusable patterns, failure modes, context requirements, prompts, and verification techniques.
Partner with architects, AI Test Leads, security, infrastructure, and application teams to establish acceptance criteria, quality gates, rollback plans, and production-readiness standards.
Lead troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and resolution of complex production and P1 incidents.
Mentor developers in agentic engineering, AI-assisted development, secure coding, code review, dependency management, and human-in-the-loop validation.
