Architect integration between AI platforms and enterprise applications, databases, APIs, document repositories, data platforms, and event-driven systems.

Platform, Security & Governance

Establish architectural patterns for prompt management, evaluation, observability, model lifecycle management, LLMOps/MLOps, and AI application monitoring.

Define security architectures covering Microsoft Entra ID, managed identities, RBAC, Key Vault, private networking, encryption, API security, and sensitive-data protection.

Establish Responsible AI and AI governance controls covering safety, privacy, explainability, evaluation, hallucination management, and human oversight.

Collaboration & Leadership

Partner with application, cloud, data, cybersecurity, infrastructure, and enterprise architecture teams.

Lead architecture workshops, technical discovery sessions, design reviews, PoCs, and stakeholder presentations.

Provide technical direction and mentorship to AI engineers, ML engineers, application developers, data engineers, and cloud engineers
