  • Experience designing enterprise integration solutions and establishing implementation patterns adopted across the organization
  • Experience defining organizational operational strategies and reliability practices; familiarity with championing SLO/SLI frameworks, cost optimization, and platform reliability at scale
  • Demonstrated ability to establish and articulate technical strategy across the organization in alignment with business objectives and strategic initiatives
  • Extensive expertise building and maintaining secure, reliable, and responsive Web Apps built with React, JavaScript, Node, Next, and GraphQL,
  • End-to-end experience in infrastructure-as-code pipelines for build, packaging, and deployment strategies using Gitlab, AWS, Kubernetes ensuring reliable and repeatable practices across systems
