• Enable secure and scalable self‑service data platform workflows for application teams.
• Perform performance tuning, capacity planning, and query optimization.
• Build and maintain observability for data platforms using metrics, logs, and alerting.
• Automate provisioning and operations using Infrastructure as Code tools.
• Ensure compliance with security, regulatory, and data governance requirements.

• PostgreSQL
• Amazon OpenSearch
• Time‑series databases 
• Kubernetes (EKS)
• Terraform / OpenTofu
