 * End-to-end ownership of highly available, scalable AWS infrastructure
 * Design, operation, and continuous improvement of Kubernetes (EKS) platforms
 * Reliability of production systems through strong observability, automation, and SLOs
 * CI/CD systems that enable safe, fast, and repeatable deployments
 * Infrastructure defined and enforced through Terraform and GitOps
