• Perform incident response, root cause analysis, and proactive troubleshooting.
• Identify and address infrastructure bottlenecks to improve performance and reliability.

Collaboration and  Communication

• Work closely with development, QA, and infrastructure teams to support smooth application deployment.
• Promote DevOps best practices including continuous integration, continuous delivery, and agile workflows.
• Document processes and provide training on DevOps tools and methodologies.

Security and Compliance

• Implement secure deployment practices and enforce security policies.
• Conduct vulnerability assessments and integrate automated security testing into CI/CD pipelines.

Performance Optimization

• Optimize application performance and scalability in production and virtualized environments.
• Manage and fine-tune containerized workloads using Docker and orchestration tools like Kubernetes.

Tool Development
