• Contact Center Architect - Healthcare. Amazon Connect Member, Provider & Self-Service Experience.
• Business-IT Bridge Authentication, Self-Service & Containment Focus.
• Business Partnership & Discovery (the bridge role) - Drive the conversation with the business - lead working sessions with operations, member/provider experience, product, and compliance stakeholders to surface goals, pain points, and the why behind every requirement.
• Bridge business and IT - translate business intent into clear technical requirements for development teams, and translate technical constraints and trade-offs back into language the business can act on.
• Earn and keep trust - act as the single, credible point of contact who both sides rely on; embrace the customers perspective and represent it faithfully throughout delivery.
• Facilitate decisions - run design reviews, build consensus across competing priorities, and keep initiatives moving without losing either business value or technical integrity.
• Contact Center Architecture (Amazon Connect) - Own the end-to-end architecture of the Amazon Connect contact center across member, provider, and self-service journeys.
• Design IVR / IVA and contact flows, routing strategies, queueing, and omnichannel (voice, chat, callback) experiences optimized for self-service and containment.
• Architect caller authentication and identity flows - including data-driven verification, integration with member/provider systems of record, and secure handling of PHI/PII.

• Architect serverless, event-driven solutions using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, S3, and Kinesis.
• Partner hands-on with developers - set design standards, review implementations, and unblock the team rather than throwing designs over the wall.
• Security, Compliance & Governance (Healthcare) - Design for HIPAA and PHI/PII protection - define IAM, encryption (in transit and at rest), least-privilege access, and audit/logging controls appropriate to a regulated healthcare environment.
