Provide technical leadership through mentoring, code reviews and software development lifecycle governance.
Partner with academic, operational and technology stakeholders to design innovative digital learning solutions.
Champion continuous improvement by evaluating emerging technologies and advancing the University's AI-enabled learning ecosystem.
