-Code, build demos and review codes to ensure team follow architecture (not limited to just powerpoint and excel).
-Build internal integration framework capabilities, automation, reusability, maintainability and automated as much as possible.
-Direct the team to gather requirements and functions specifications from current users to identify areas for improvements and/or integration for current systems .
-Review and improve proposals for solutions that is modular and scalable that will help address both current architectural constraints and future architecture improvements
-Drive best in-class engineering practices (e.g. test-driven development, continuous integration, and automated deployment).
-Lead in improving existing and creating new applications, and ensure application software is
effectively and efficiently designed, produced, tested and meets business requirements
-Ensure solutions are designed in alignment with Technology Tribe’s strategic direction and roadmap.
