  • Engineering Rigor: Commitment to clean code, disciplined unit/integration testing, and maintainable software engineering practices.
  • Modern Tooling & Curiosity: Enthusiasm for leveraging automation, scripting, and AI-assisted tools to streamline incident resolution, cut manual overhead, and improve documentation.
