• Design automation frameworks to eliminate manual processes and reduce operational toil.
• Build observability solutions using Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, and GCP tools.
• Write production‑grade code in Python, Bash, and Go for automation and tooling.
• Develop Terraform modules and IaC patterns for enterprise‑scale deployments.

• 10+ years in infrastructure/platform engineering with large‑scale production environments.
• Expert‑level experience in GCP/AWS, multi‑region architectures, GKE optimization, networking, and security.
• Deep Kubernetes expertise in production environments.
• Advanced Terraform development and IaC best practices.
• Strong coding skills in Python, Bash, and/or Go.
• Linux systems expertise across multiple distributions.
• Proven ability to create technical documentation and ADRs.

• Compliance frameworks (SOC2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP)
• Cost optimization achievements
• SRE/Dev Ops transformation leadership
• Observability platform expertise
• Disaster recovery design and implementation
• Git Ops and CI/CD pipeline expertise (Jenkins, Git Lab, ArgoCD)
