• Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using CloudFormation and AWS CDK, ensuring consistency and reusability across environments.
• Build and optimize reusable cloud architecture patterns, reference frameworks, and deployment templates.
• Implement and support serverless and container-based solutions using AWS services such as Lambda, ECS, Fargate, and related technologies.
