- Deploy containerized applications with Docker and Kubernetes—zero downtime is your mantra.
- Implement guardrails for security, compliance, and identity management.
- Instrument real-time monitoring dashboards (Prometheus, CloudWatch, Grafana) and respond to alerts.
- Hunt down cost anomalies then slash spend through rightsizing, reserved instances, and spot fleets.
- Write concise runbooks and architectural diagrams for future teammates.
- Support lift-and-shift or re-platform migrations—every service must cross the finish line.
- Collaborate daily with developers, cybersecurity analysts, and product owners.
