• Proven ability to drive highly automated and intelligent infrastructure operations using automation, orchestration, and monitoring tools such as ServiceNow, Ansible, Terraform, and equivalent platforms, alongside AIOps solutions (e.g., Dynatrace, Moogsoft, Splunk, IBM Instana) to improve observability, predictive maintenance, cost optimisation, and energy efficiency.
• Strong expertise in leading technical solution design and presales engagements, effectively communicating complex infrastructure and transformation strategies to senior technical and business stakeholders, and delivering clear, compelling architectures aligned with operational, sustainability, and business objectives.
