permissions, access control, secrets management, traceability and
action boundaries Designing knowledge retrieval components ( RAG,
vector indexes, context management and data quality) that deliver
relevant and verifiable answers Setting up evaluation and
observability frameworks for AI solutions: output quality, flow
behaviour, cost, latency , incidents and level of human
intervention Integrating AI capabilities with backend
architectures, APIs, transactional systems and cloud platforms ,
making sure solutions are operable and maintainable in production
