- Take ownership of full stack application development and oversee the end-to-end SDLC of AI-native applications.

- Develop robust evaluation & Observability metrices to measure Agent Success Rate, Steps-to-Solution, and Cost-per-Task.
- Work closely with the business leads / designates to define workflows and be assertive enough to ensure we use the right tools for right outcomes instead of one size fits all kind of approach
