  • Develop automation for existing processes in a cloud environment using tools such as CloudFormation, Ansible, and Packer
  • Building CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.
  • Working within the constraints of NIST 800-53, 800-171, CMMC, or related compliance policies (e.g., CIS)
