  • Operational Excellence: A solid understanding of non-functional requirements and the ability to translate them into robust architectural decisions for critical infrastructure.
  • Advisory Skills: The ability to communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders ("Storytelling") and manage senior client relationships.
