Conduct Well-Architected assessments and drive remediation plans and platform guardrails. Build POCs to validate designs (retrieval/RAG, agent workflows, storage governance, latency targets); deliver working code and ADRs. Reverse-engineer .NET services, generate technical summaries, identify modularization seams, and propose refactor roadmaps.
