• Design distributed caching, session management, database connection pooling, and state-management strategies.
• Collaborate with development and infrastructure teams to build robust CI/CD pipelines.
• Support automated builds, integration testing, deployment automation, and blue-green deployment strategies.
• Optimize containerized applications running on Docker and Kubernetes.
• Design and implement service-mesh architectures using technologies such as Istio or Linkerd.
• Establish architectural standards, technical guidelines, and reusable patterns across application platforms.
• Troubleshoot complex application, middleware, integration, and performance issues.

• Strong understanding of CI/CD, automated testing, deployment automation, and DevOps practices.
