  • Drive platform stewardship by working across adjacent capabilities such as Rules, Schema Editor, Package Manager, App Manager, and other lifecycle services to improve interoperability, reuse, and developer experience.
  • Champion responsible adoption of AI, automation, and data-driven engineering practices across the organization, both in how teams build software and in how APD capabilities evolve over time.
