   Strong skills in designing, deploying, and managing scalable systems on Google Cloud Platform.
• Elastic Database Management:
   Proven ability to optimise and manage Elasticsearch for speed, resilience, and reliability.
• Monitoring & Observability:
   Hands-on experience building dashboards and alerts using Grafana, Prometheus, or similar tools.
• Kubernetes & Containerization:
   You can deploy and manage containerised applications in production using Kubernetes.
• Infrastructure as Code & Automation:
   Proficient in tools like Ansible, Terraform, or other DevOps frameworks to automate infrastructure and deployments.
• Security & Compliance:
   You understand how to build secure systems that meet regulatory requirements and best practices.
• Collaborative Engineering:
   A team player who thrives in cross-functional settings, working closely with developers, product owners, and operations to deliver impactful software.
• Incident Management:
   You stay calm under pressure, are quick to respond, and can debug complex issues to keep systems performing at their best.
