• Implement self-healing systems and automated recovery where possible.
• Oversee OS patching to ensure no outstanding vulnerabilities, and maintain compliance with security standards.

Hands-on Cloud & Systems Engineering

• Provision, manage, and troubleshoot AWS services such as EC2, ECS, EKS, Lambda, ELB, S3, EFS, RDS, VPC, and IAM.
• Hands-on administration of Linux and Windows operating systems, including hardening, patching, and vulnerability remediation.
• Troubleshoot complex issues across infrastructure, applications, networks, and operating systems.
• Deploy and manage container-based workloads (ECS, EKS, Docker).
• Automate operations using Infrastructure-as-Code (CloudFormation, Terraform) and scripting (Python, Ansible, Bash, PowerShell).
• Implement and optimize GitLab CI/CD pipelines for operations-driven automation.
• Support cloud security, IAM, encryption, and compliance standards
