- Champion rigorous software development lifecycle (SDLC) practices to ensure quality, security, and maintainability of cloud applications.
- Promote a shift-left mentality, integrating testing, security, and compliance early into the development process to detect and resolve issues sooner.
- Collaborate closely with product and engineering teams to embed automation, continuous testing, and code quality standards throughout the SDLC.

- Embed a strong SRE mindset across engineering teams to enhance system reliability, performance, and scalability.
- Establish and track service level objectives (SLOs), service level indicators (SLIs), and error budgets to maintain and improve service quality.
- Promote and oversee comprehensive observability frameworks using monitoring, logging, and alerting tools to enable proactive incident detection and resolution.
DevOps and Automation Leadership:

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
