•    Lead production-grade AI-driven implementations using Python, PyTorch, Snowpark, and Snowflake-native capabilities, while managing client stakeholder alignment, enabling executive-level communication, and ensuring delivery focuses on scalable business outcomes across modernization programs.
•    Define and implement security guardrails, access controls, and evaluation/review frameworks to support responsible, measurable, and production-ready AI-driven development on Snowflake across client engagements.
•    Own service delivery across client engagements by driving execution governance, delivery planning, risk management, quality assurance, and cross-functional coordination to ensure commitments are met with high customer satisfaction and measurable business outcomes.
