Implement monitoring, logging, alerting, and tracing
with
Prometheus, Loki and Grafana
, ensuring system observability and reliable incident response.
Design and secure cloud networking
, including VPC architectures, load balancers, service meshes, and Bastion host access, while applying strong security practices.
Collaborate with engineering teams
to refine deployment strategies, improve reliability, and support smooth delivery of new features.
