Rancher Gov Stack: Architect and manage Rancher for multi-cluster management, including policy enforcement, compliance, and workload orchestration.

GitOps & Automation: Implement and scale GitOps pipelines using Fleet and ArgoCD for consistent, auditable, and automated operations.

OCI Bundle Orchestration: Manage packaging, distribution, and lifecycle of application bundles in OCI-compliant registries for edge environments.

Helm Expertise: Build, optimize, and maintain Helm charts for application packaging and upgrade automation.

Security & Networking: Enforce security best practices, network segmentation, and zero-trust principles throughout platform design.

Upgrade Strategy: Define and execute robust cluster and platform upgrade strategies to ensure long-term stability and security.

Collaboration & Leadership: Partner with product, security, and engineering teams; mentor junior engineers; and establish technical standards.

Documentation & Communication: Create clear documentation of architectures and processes while effectively communicating to technical and non-technical audiences.
