- Own Disaster Recovery (DR) and Business Continuity (BC) architecture-maintaining automated backup and failover capabilities that keep critical system recovery times measured in minutes, not days.
- Partner with Cybersecurity and Zero-Trust teams to integrate automated vulnerability scanning, secrets management, and policy-as-code guardrails directly into CI/CD workflows without introducing developer friction.
- Architect and support automated pipelines for hosted and private AI models, enabling software and engineering teams to leverage high-throughput AI capabilities safely within our secure compliance boundary.
- Decompose complex infrastructure problems into maintainable systems; author clear technical design documents and lead cross-functional teams through execution.
