  • Architect the agentic delivery layer, defining how redesigned processes become production-grade AI agents, skills, and tooling on the Forcepoint Intelligence Platform
  • Build AI-first capability on AWS and Bedrock, establishing the cloud and model foundation
  • Translate process redesign into engineered outcomes, partnering with functional leaders and transformation owners to take flagged, re-architected flows and turn them into automated, governed, observable systems
