• Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting using DataDog, Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK/EFK stacks

Security & Governance

• Integrate DevSecOps best practices into pipelines (e.g., secrets management, vulnerability scanning, policy-as-code)
• Implement Zero Trust Architecture using Cloudflare and IAM best practices
• Conduct architecture reviews, cloud security audits, and compliance assessments

Collaboration & Advisory

• Act as a technical advisor to developers, cloud engineers, and management
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to enable continuous delivery and site reliability
• Mentor junior DevOps engineers and contribute to the creation of internal standards and reusable patterns
