• Experience building automation and observability solutions to accelerate incident resolution and improve service reliability.
• Proficiency in programming, cloud platforms, microservices, data pipelines, containers, Kubernetes and infrastructure‑as‑code.
• Demonstrated ability to drive the full SDLC, including CI/CD, testing, code reviews, deployment automation, production monitoring, and debugging.
• Strong ownership and problem‑solving skills to reduce toil, improve reliability, and enhance customer experience.
