• Deep knowledge of AWS Cloud services and best practices, including EKS, EC2, IAM, VPC, Subnets, KMS, and CloudWatch
• Hands on production experience with Kubernetes, covering orchestration, Helm/Kustomize, and rollout strategies
• Strong Terraform skills, including module design, remote state management, and pipeline integration
• Track record of building and maintaining robust GitLab CI/CD pipelines, with multi stage builds, caching, and security scanning
