  • Developing automation scripts using Ansible, Python, and Shell to simplify and improve operational tasks, from OS provisioning to hardware inventory and health checks.
  • Supporting and managing cloud services within the AWS ecosystem.
  • Applying security best practices and implementing robust security measures across Linux systems.
  • Systematically capturing and maintaining clear, comprehensive documentation of processes, procedures, and best practices to support consistency, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement.
  • Contributing to continuous improvement initiatives focused on resource optimization and infrastructure scalability.
  • Responding to incidents and ensuring timely resolution.
  • Participating in project deployments and helping ensure smooth execution.
  • Monitoring system performance and service availability.
  • Providing technical support and expertise to development teams.
