  Guide technical direction, estimation, release planning, risk management, and delivery readiness in collaboration with Architects and Project Managers.
• AI-Enabled Development:
  Lead the adoption of AI coding agents and emerging technologies, establishing appropriate workflows, guardrails, and quality controls to improve team efficiency without compromising quality.

• Technical Client Partnership:
  Act as a trusted technical advisor to clients, helping them make informed decisions about their Shopify ecosystem.
• eCommerce Strategy:
  Contribute to eCommerce strategies and roadmaps aligned with business objectives, leveraging data, research, competitive insights, and Shopify best practices.
