- Build reusable platform blueprints, infrastructure modules, and abstractions to enable standardized, self-service infrastructure provisioning.

- Manage Kubernetes cluster lifecycle, upgrades, scaling, performance, and resource utilization.

- Apply infrastructure-as-code and platform engineering practices to improve reliability, security, and cost efficiency.

GitOps & Automation

- Build and maintain GitHub Actions/Workflows and GitOps deployment pipelines using Argo CD or Flux.

- Implement policy-driven deployments and automated guardrails using OPA/Gatekeeper and Kyverno.

- Develop automation and internal tooling using Python, Bash, or Go to eliminate manual operations and improve developer experience.

Networking & Troubleshooting

- Design and troubleshoot Kubernetes networking, ingress, service discovery, and traffic management.

- Work with gateways and service mesh technologies such as Istio, NGINX, and HAProxy.

- Diagnose complex production issues across cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, and deployment workflows.
