• Produce high-quality technical documentation, including architecture designs, operational runbooks, and deployment guides for both technical and business stakeholders.

• Coordinate activities of project team members to ensure successful completion of engagements. Mentor and provide guidance and advice to new team members on AI platform best practices, MLOps workflows, and DevOps methodologies.
