Expert knowledge of cloud-native architectures, Kubernetes orchestration, and multi-cloud deployment patterns

Significant contributions to major open-source projects; experience working with distributed global teams and open-source governance models
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; proven ability to influence technical direction across organizations and with external stakeholders
Ability to balance long-term technical vision with near-term delivery requirements; experience making build vs. buy decisions
