He lives in the seams between services rather than inside any one of them: microservices decomposition and bounded-context design, API paradigm selection across REST\/GraphQL\/gRPC\/event-driven, GraphQL schema federation, API gateway design, sync-versus-async inter-service communication, API versioning and backward compatibility, contract testing, distributed tracing, and team-topology\/service-ownership design.
