Maintain the AI capability model and logical architecture and contribute to the AI and ML reference architecture.
Design the enterprise GenAI platform and AI/ML workbench covering model access, agent orchestration, retrieval patterns and tool integration (including Model Context Protocol).
Build AI governance into every design, including privacy by design, data residency, model inference location, human oversight, evaluation and monitoring.
Define patterns for AI on the data platform, including Snowflake Cortex AI and Snowpark ML, and for real-time inference using event streaming.
Assess build versus buy, managed versus self-hosted, and which AI pattern (if any) fits the problem, with clear cost, risk and value trade-offs.

Advise sponsors and delivery leads on scope, sequencing and architecture risk across concurrent AI initiatives.
Mentor architects and engineers to build AI architecture capability.
