CWL/WDL/Nextflow, GA4GH standards (DRS/WES), FHIR or OMOP.

Federated or cross-institutional data access at scale — bringing analysis to data held by someone else.

Federal program delivery and artifact literacy — authorization packages, significant-change requests, and corrective-action plans.

Architecture depth in inference topology: hosting trade-offs, retrieval that inherits per-tenant authorization, evaluation harnesses, and guardrails.

Shipping reusable product capability out of grant- or program-funded work.

The ability to step back from the daily routine, explore ideas for the future, and see the platform in a broader context and in the longer term.

articulates where the platform must be in three years, and why

combines scientific, regulatory, and technology trends into one coherent direction

spots opportunities for the platform early and acts on them

Personal command of the technology the platform is built on, enough to shape and challenge its biggest decisions.

reads code, designs, and test results first-hand rather than relying on summaries

changes a team’s technical direction with evidence rather than authority

is treated as a peer by senior engineers in design review

The ability to lead and develop others so they perform at their best — setting direction, providing the means, and holding the bar.

builds a management layer capable of running delivery without them, then holds it accountable

makes hiring and performance decisions promptly and explains them plainly

builds confidence and momentum and creates a thriving team environment

Setting high standards and treating quality, security, and compliance as design constraints rather than gates to be cleared.

designs for auditability, traceability, and reproducibility from the outset

converts recurring incidents into architectural and process change

declines shortcuts that would trade a compliance position for a delivery date

The ability to make timely, defensible decisions on incomplete information, and to revisit them when the evidence changes.

commits to a sequence when the data is partial, and states what would change their mind

separates reversible from irreversible decisions and spends attention accordingly

records the reasoning as well as the outcome
