• Infrastructure as Code: Manage cloud and cluster configuration declaratively with Terraform, Helm, Kustomize, eksctl and GitOps.
• CICD & GitOps: Ship through GitHub Actions and GitOps (Argo CD / Flux), with automated build, test, and dependency gating.
• Security & Access: SAST/DAST scanning, secrets management, and least-privilege IAM (IRSA), plus routine dependency and vulnerability remediation.
• Observability: Own metrics, logs, and traces across Datadog, and Sentry.
• Data & Messaging: Operate PostgreSQL, MongoDB / Atlas, OpenSearch / Elasticsearch, and Temporal.
• Languages & Tooling: Build automation and internal tooling in Python, Bash, Go, and Node.js / TypeScript; containerize with Docker.
