• Hands-on experience integrating infrastructure automation with Service Catalogs (ServiceNow, Backstage).

• Deep knowledge of cloud security best practices, identity and access management, and compliance frameworks.

• Proficiency with Docker, Kubernetes, and serverless architectures.

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automation frameworks for infrastructure delivery.

• Strong understanding of cloud cost management and optimization strategies.

• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and troubleshooting skills.
