• Model the data layer on RDS PostgreSQL (schemas, performance, scalability, integrity).
• Guide the architecture of front-end applications in Angular integrated via AWS AppSync (GraphQL).
• Lead the design of solutions and agents based on Kiro and Anthropic models (agent orchestration, prompts/context, guardrails, and quality evaluation).

Technical leadership & delivery (Tech Lead)

• Technically lead the engineering team, being responsible for delivering the project with quality and on schedule.
