 * Engineer and operate private cloud environments built on OpenStack
 * Build repeatable infrastructure using Infrastructure-as-Code and configuration management
 * Design and maintain containerized application platforms using Docker
 * Automate infrastructure deployment, configuration, and lifecycle management
 * Support cloud migration initiatives across AWS and Google Cloud
 * Build CI/CD and GitOps workflows that improve deployment consistency
 * Engineer observability solutions including centralized logging and monitoring
