• Define and implement infrastructure-as-code (IaC) using Terraform or AWS CloudFormation.
• Establish networking, security, and governance standards aligned with AWS Well-Architected Framework.
• Set up CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure provisioning and application deployments.

Kubernetes Platform Engineering

• Manage containerization strategies and support Kubernetes workloads.
• Implement Kubernetes best practices including namespace management, RBAC, pod security policies, autoscaling (HPA/Cluster Autoscaler), and resource quotas.
• Integrate observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and CloudWatch Container Insights.
• Maintain Helm charts and manage deployments via GitOps workflows (e.g., ArgoCD or Flux).

On-Prem to Cloud Migration

• Assess existing on-premises infrastructure, including middleware platforms (e.g., TIBCO BusinessWorks, EMS).
• Collaborate with application and integration teams to map data flows, dependencies, and integration patterns.
• Identify cloud-native or managed alternatives for legacy components (e.g., Amazon MQ, MSK, EventBridge).
• Lead migration and modernization efforts to transition workloads to AWS.
