• Design and implement self-healing, fault-tolerant systems to prevent failures before they happen.
• Define SLIs, SLOs, and SLAs, ensuring proactive performance monitoring and incident resolution.
• Architect and manage scalable cloud infrastructure (AWS) for massive real-time data processing.
• Optimize containerized environments (Kubernetes, Docker) to support multi-region deployments.
• Lead the adoption of infrastructure as code (Terraform) to fully automate infrastructure management.
• Build and refine a world-class monitoring, alerting, and logging system using Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, and Datadog.
• Lead incident response and on-call operations, reducing mean time to detection (MTTD) and mean time to resolution (MTTR).
• Conduct blameless postmortems and continuously improve system resilience.
• Reduce manual intervention through automated deployment, scaling, and failover mechanisms.
• Partner with Security & Compliance teams to ensure infrastructure meets HIPAA and SOC 2 standards
• Lead disaster recovery and business continuity planning to ensure critical healthcare services are always available.
