Define service boundaries and contracts; design APIs (REST/JSON; GraphQL preferred), integration patterns (sync/async, pub/sub, CQRS, Saga/Outbox), and data contracts.

Establish and govern NFRs (performance, availability, scalability, observability, resilience, security, cost) with measurable SLOs and acceptance criteria.

Produce clear artifacts: HLD/LLD, sequence diagrams, ADRs, deployment views, and integration specifications.

Guide development teams through design playback, spike plans, reference implementations for complex areas, and PR/design reviews of critical components.
