30 / 60 / 90 Day Onboarding
Days 1–14: Map systems, file flows, dependencies, ownership, and failure patterns — then validate with the people closest to the work before forming conclusions. Days 15–60: Take ownership of the highest-friction areas and deliver one or two high-impact improvements so the team sees practical value fast. Days 61–90: Architecture ownership, observability improvement, reliability hardening, and longer-term leverage identification.
W2
Enterprise Cross-Boundary Fluency
Operates across the exact boundaries that create the most friction in enterprise environments: engineering tools, software development, IT infrastructure, and business workflows. Translates technical risk, tradeoffs, and architecture decisions into plain business language for management without losing precision.
