  • Champion modern tools (GraphQL, AI-assisted coding) and foster continuous innovation and productivity
  • Cascade technical strategies and project updates clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Lead engineering development through mentorship, training, and succession planning
  • Serve as a culture leader—reinforcing UTA’s values of curiosity, collaboration, and innovation
