Maintain, support, and enhance continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines using Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, and GitHub Actions.
Assist with cloud infrastructure automation, provisioning, and configuration management using AWS services and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools.
Develop serverless workflows, event-driven architectures, and microservices integrations using AWS Lambda, EventBridge, SQS, and API Gateway.
Support data platform operations, S3 data lake ingestion, database onboarding (Postgres), and metadata/governance sync workflows.
Perform root-cause analysis, troubleshoot operational issues, analyze system logs, and implement preventive solutions.
Conduct code reviews to ensure code quality, maintainability, security, and adherence to established engineering standards.
Author and update technical documentation, operational runbooks, reusable frameworks, and implementation templates.
Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams in Agile Scrum/Kanban environments using Jira and Confluence to track deliverables.
