Hybrid Migration Strategy: Design and execute the migration path for Jenkins, build artifacts, and existing pipelines from AWS to On-Prem. Ensure transitions are seamless for development teams with zero-downtime.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Develop and maintain production-grade Ansible playbooks and Terraform configurations to treat the local data center like a programmable cloud.
Secure Software Supply Chain: Lead "Shift Left" security initiatives. Standardize base images, enforce non-root execution, and integrate automated security scanning directly into the CI/CD flow.
Local Cloud Services: Architect and manage local S3-compatible storage (MinIO). Ensure high availability, data persistence, and robust backup strategies for stateful services running on-premise.
Developer Self-Service: Build and maintain internal tooling that allows developers to provision their own environments and deploy code via automation, eliminating manual ticketing.
Linux Mastery: Expert-level administration of RHEL/CentOS (Systemd, Advanced Networking, SELinux hardening).
CI/CD Orchestration: Deep experience with Jenkins (Configuration as Code) and migrating complex, multi-stage pipelines across heterogeneous environments.
Configuration Management: Mastery of Ansible (writing custom Roles, Collections, and managing secrets via Vault).
Container Networking: Strong understanding of CNI (Cilium/Calico) and how Kubernetes interacts with physical networks (BGP, MetalLB, Load Balancers).
Storage & Data: Hands-on experience managing S3-compatible storage and understanding Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs) in an on-premise Kubernetes context.
Mentoring & Leadership: Guide the team through the technical shift from AWS to local infrastructure. Perform code reviews and establish "On-Prem Best Practices."
Ownership & Proactivity
Goal-Oriented Delivery
Communication: Clearly articulate the trade-offs between cloud-native services and their on-premise equivalents to stakeholders and architects.
