- Troubleshoot and resolve productionincidents (log analysis, performance tuning, process recovery) • Build, deployand orchestrate containers with Docker
- Maintain, configure and tune web andapplication servers (Apache, NGINX or equivalent)
- Streamline deployment with CI/CDpipelines, using XLDeploy and Nexus for artifact management
