• Lead the development of resilient, scalable, and secure platform environments using Linux, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Ansible, Artifactory, and related technologies.
• Influence program-level decisions involving hardware/software trade-offs, COTS selection, platform reuse, and requirements synthesis.
• Architect end-to-end DevSecOps workflows to support high-frequency, high-quality deployments across MDS programs.
• Oversee CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD) to ensure secure, automated build, test, and release processes at scale.
• Drive initiatives that raise DevSecOps maturity, expand Infrastructure-as-Code adoption, and increase automation coverage.
• Lead cross-program integration efforts spanning Software, Systems Engineering, Cybersecurity, Platform and Integration & Test teams.
• Conduct advanced debugging and performance optimization across distributed and containerized environments.
• Establish platform engineering standards and best practices across multiple MDS and C5I product lines.
