You hold your own with the most senior technical stakeholders on the customer side — enterprise architects, Heads of Engineering, CTOs — and are seen as a peer, not a vendor. You communicate complex architecture crisply, in writing, on a whiteboard, in a slide deck, and in the room, to both deeply technical and executive audiences. You're comfortable operating across pre-sales and post-sales, and you know how to make architecture decisions that are right for the customer and commercially so
