· Develop automation and orchestration logic (e.g., workflows, APIs, event-driven processes) to unify provisioning, deployments, and environment management.
· Enhance CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions) to support consistent and automated delivery patterns.
· Work with engineering teams to define "golden paths" and reusable service templates that promote consistency and speed.
