  • Infrastructure-as-Code with Terraform (minimum) and one or more modern CI/CD systems (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Harness).
  • Containers & orchestration (Kubernetes) and service-mesh patterns (e.g., Istio).
  • API design and security (REST/OpenAPI, authN/Z, mTLS and certificate lifecycle).
  • Scripting in Bash, PowerShell or Python.
