Tune performance and clustering for 10M+ identity stores; guide SoD policy, birthright, and access review strategies.
Present architecture and risk narratives to CXO-level and security governance boards.
Mentor developers and administrators; set coding standards, peer-review cadence, and documentation discipline.
(And yes-explain, with a straight face, why aggregating 40 HR feeds on a Friday is a terrible idea.)
