- Supporting teams in designing APIs, data flows, and integration patterns between applications and cloud services
- Advising on architectural trade-offs (monolith vs microservices, synchronous vs asynchronous, serverless vs containerized)
- Supporting development and operations teams in debugging complex production issues
- Analyzing and correlating application logs, cloud infrastructure logs and metrics, and distributed traces
- Setting up and improving logging, monitoring, and observability across the application and cloud layers
- Helping teams identify root causes of performance, stability, and scalability issues
