      services essential to distributed financial systems, including LDAP, Kerberos, SSSD,
      DNS, BIND, PowerDNS, NTP, Chrony, and PTP, with a focus on precision, availability,
      and operational integrity.
    • Cloud & Hybrid Architecture: Design and operate secure AWS and Azure solutions,
      including hybrid and multi-cloud architectures that satisfy financial industry requirements
      for resilience, auditability, security, and business continuity.
    • Enterprise Hardware & Storage: Lead the design, support, and optimization of
      infrastructure running on Dell PowerEdge servers and enterprise storage platforms, with
      emphasis on performance, replication, capacity planning, and fault tolerance.
    • Automation & Platform Reliability: Develop and standardize infrastructure automation
      using Ansible, Jenkins, ArgoCD, GitOps, Terraform, Pulumi, and scripting frameworks
      to improve repeatability, speed, and operational consistency.
    • Developer & Release Platform Integration: Manage GitHub Enterprise and related
      integrations, including SonarQube, Artifactory, and GitHub Actions runners, to enable
      secure and scalable software delivery workflows.
    • Operational Resilience & Compliance: Ensure platforms are designed and operated to
      meet the security, availability, resiliency, and regulatory expectations of financial
      services and capital markets environments.
    • Architecture Leadership: Establish design standards, reference architectures, and
      reusable engineering patterns that can be deployed consistently across multiple business
      and technology domains.
    • Cross-Functional Partnership: Collaborate closely with trading, application
      development, production support, cybersecurity, network engineering, and infrastructure
      teams to deliver stable, performant, and scalable solutions aligned with front-office and
      enterprise priorities.
