Develop and manage Helm charts for deploying and packaging complex applications across environments.
Implement and maintain GitOps workflows using ArgoCD for continuous delivery to Kubernetes clusters.
Create and optimize CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions to automate build, test, and deployment workflows.
Use Crossplane for declarative, Kubernetes-based infrastructure-as-code to manage cloud resources.
Write and maintain Ansible playbooks for configuration management, automation, and deployment scripting.
Embed security throughout the DevOps lifecycle (DevSecOps), including IAM policies, secret management, encryption, and compliance enforcement.
Build and maintain observability infrastructure, including logging, metrics, alerting, and distributed tracing.
Champion code review practices, Git branching strategies, and collaboration standards across the engineering organization.
Drive automated testing integration within CI/CD pipelines to ensure quality and coverage.
