Kubernetes and Networking Foundations: Operate and scale multi-tenant EKS clusters, manage traffic and ingress systems, and continuously evaluate and adopt improvements with incremental rollout strategies.

AI and Agentic Workflows: Develop and iterate on AI-powered operational workflows that reduce toil, including automated triage, context gathering, and safe runbook execution with strong observability and auditability.

Incident Response and On-Call: Participate in on-call rotations, engage in incident response, and contribute to a culture of sustainable reliability through blameless postmortems and preventative measures.
