• Facilitate technical workshops, design walkthroughs, and readiness reviews.

6. Testing, Documentation & Operational Readiness

• Oversee:
• Ingress and egress testing across UAT and PROD
• Creation and review of design documents and runbooks
• Ensure solutions are operationally ready, supportable, and handed over to operations teams.
