Lead adoption of AI developer tools (Cursor, Copilot, Code Whisperer) and automation platforms, embedding AI‑assisted practices into the engineering workflow and prototyping agentic AI use cases for finance

Design and operate cloud‑native integration infrastructure on AWS and/or GCP, modernizing legacy patterns with event‑driven, serverless, and microservices approaches aligned to cloud governance standards
