· Implement automation and DevOps practices using Python and PowerShell to enhance platform stability, enable self‑healing capabilities, streamline operations, and support CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure and platform services.
· Design and enforce cloud governance, security, and compliance controls, including identity and access management, policy guardrails, disaster recovery, and business continuity strategies across all cloud providers.
· Establish robust observability and incident management practices, including monitoring, logging, alerting, and root‑cause analysis, to ensure rapid detection and resolution of reliability and performance issues.
· Collaborate with architecture, security, application, and operations teams, clearly communicating complex technical concepts, producing high‑quality documentation, and serving as a technical advisor on cloud reliability and operational best practices.
