• CI/CD Pipelines: Design and manage efficient CI/CD pipelines to ensure smooth code integration, automated testing, and seamless application deployment across environments.
• Infrastructure Automation: Build and maintain scalable, resilient infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform, promoting automation and standardisation across deployments.
