Establish clear principles and standards that guide decisions while allowing team autonomy and innovation.
Design systems that can demonstrate compliance and security through comprehensive logging and tracing.

Align team structure to system architecture: organizations produce designs reflecting their communication structure.
Manage where data physically resides and who can access it, respecting legal boundaries and customer requirements.
Create a lightweight process for justified deviations from standards without compromising overall coherence.
Ensure architectural decisions support product goals and vice versa, avoiding misalignment that harms both.
Navigate the landscape of regulatory requirements and ensure architectural decisions support compliance.
Conduct effective architectural reviews that catch risks early without becoming approval bottlenecks.
Specialize in cross-cutting concerns: security posture, data governance, and platform reliability.
Guide team-level technical decisions, mentor engineers, and ensure architectural patterns are applied correctly.
Manage technology lifecycle from adoption through deprecation with clear timelines and migration paths.
