Deliver On-Premise and Local Deployments

- Work directly with government IT teams to navigate local infrastructure constraints, security requirements, and network configurations
- Troubleshoot infrastructure and runtime issues in the field, often with limited access to external resources
Cloud Infrastructure

- Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines for services team deployments
- Monitor system performance, set up alerting, and respond to infrastructure incidents across cloud-hosted client environments

Internal Standards and Enablement
