Architect async/event-driven processing, queues, horizontal scaling, backpressure, retries, and idempotency.
Define the overall data architecture, including storage, partitioning, streaming, batch processing, and data pipelines.
Select appropriate architectural patterns while avoiding unnecessary complexity and over-engineering.
Reliability & Security
Establish high availability, fault tolerance, disaster recovery, and SLA strategies.
Build security and compliance into the architecture, including encryption, access control, secrets management, auditing, and tenant isolation.
Define the observability strategy for monitoring, tracing, and troubleshooting distributed systems.
Integration & Platform Architecture
Architect a scalable connector and integration framework supporting systems such as Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho, databases, and object stores.
Design scalable APIs and platform abstractions that support multiple use cases without repeated architectural redesign.
Partner with DevOps/Infrastructure teams on cloud and multi-cloud architecture across AWS, GCP, and Azure.
