- Establish end‑to‑end observability—Prometheus metrics, Grafana dashboards, Grafana Tempo tracing, SLOs/error budgets, actionable alerting, and on‑call runbooks.
- Build platform tooling & automation in Go, Node.js, and C#/.NET—CLIs, controllers/operators, APIs, and integrations that improve developer experience.
- Drive security, compliance, and reliability practices—image/signing & SBOMs, secrets management, network policies, least privilege, cost monitoring, incident response, and post‑mortems.
