- Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to deployments, application configurations, and infrastructure.

- Work with the team to ensure high availability and disaster recovery by designing fault-tolerant systems.

- Document automated processes, deployment procedures, and infrastructure configurations to ensure consistency and enable knowledge transfer within the team.
