  • Product & Requirements Management: Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate business goals into technical requirements, user stories, and automated test suites within an Agile framework.
  • Technical Design & Architecture: Author comprehensive technical design documents, system architecture diagrams, and API specifications to ensure scalable, secure, and maintainable full-stack systems.
  • Modern Operations & DevOps: Build robust CI/CD deployment pipelines on GCP, integrate automated security and quality scanning, and implement modern Identity & Access Management (IAM) and automated credential rotation using Terraform.
  • Reliability & Continuous Improvement: Drive proactive problem management, root cause analysis (RCA), and incident resolution to ensure high availability and performance of critical analytical systems.
