- Database & Data Migration: PostgreSQL/MySQL, ETL scripting (Python, Bash, or Go)
Strong experience in:
- Troubleshooting Ruby on Rails workers, Java/Tomcat engines, Redis queues, and Elasticsearch/Solr re-indexing
- OpenShift Administration: Pods, deployment configs, routes, network policies, and PVCs
- API & Workflow: Enterprise API Gateways (Kong/Gravitee/Tyk), n8n workflows, routes, webhooks, rate limiting, JWT/OAuth2 token validation
- CI/CD, IaC & GitOps: Terraform, Ansible, GitLab CI, ArgoCD

- Handle end-user application support, API form integrations, and microservices management in OpenShift
