optimize code before it reaches the fleet.
3. Production Application Support
● Post-Deployment Engineering: Troubleshoot .NET Core applications and bottlenecks.
● Runtime Diagnostics: Troubleshoot application crashes, memory pressure, and
threading issues within the Linux environment to ensure software performs reliably at
scale.

systems.
● Outbound Replication: Monitor and maintain data feed replication from Linux-based
systems to Microsoft SQL Server environments.

5. Critical Service & Messaging Operations
● Communication Flows: Manage Postfix mail queues for transactional messaging and
internal relays.
● Print Management: Support enterprise-scale printing via CUPS, troubleshooting driver
conflicts and spooling issues across a distributed network.
6. Security, Hardening & Modernization
