• Strong architectural knowledge of microservices patterns, service-oriented architecture, event streaming, and integration design.
• Practical experience deploying, scaling, and managing middleware on Kubernetes and OpenShift platforms.
• Working knowledge of DevOps practices, continuous integration and deployment, observability, and infrastructure automation.
• Experience operating across hybrid cloud, multi-cloud, or edge infrastructure models.
• Capability to lead and mentor technical teams through complex, multi-phase enterprise projects.
