Automate infrastructure lifecycle management, service provisioning, configuration workflows, and release deployments using Ansible, Python, and Go; quantify operational toil and convert recurring manual work into durable, version-controlled, testable automation - tracking reduction as an engineering outcome. Lead full-cycle incident response by conducting cross-stack troubleshooting using low-level OS and network tools (strace, lsof, tcpdump, iostat, vmstat, gdb), maintain high availability across large-scale bare metal Linux /BSD fleets and Kubernetes clusters.
