  • Develop and maintain Bash and Python scripts to automate system administration, deployment, monitoring, and operational tasks.
  • Design, implement, and maintain automated infrastructure solutions that improve system availability, scalability, repeatability, and operational efficiency.
  • Apply Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and configuration-management practices using tools such as Ansible.
  • Support CI/CD pipelines and DevSecOps processes using tools such as GitLab CI and Git.
