  • Drive security hardening, compliance readiness, and best practices across environments.
  • Manage DNS, SSL/TLS, networking configurations, and application-level security.
  • Lead disaster recovery and backup strategies for critical systems and data.
  • Mentor junior and mid-level engineers on DevOps tools, processes, and cloud architecture best practices.
  • Maintain and improve documentation for infrastructure, processes, and operational standards
