• Complex Troubleshooting & Playbooks: Autonomously debug and resolve low-level migration tool errors, update enterprise migration playbooks, and document operational standards.

• Git Internals & Cleanup: Proven track record handling Git system limits, multi-GB repos, Git LFS, and repo-cleaning tools (git-filter-repo).
• Identity & Security: Direct experience implementing OIDC-based keyless authentication between pipelines (GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps) and artifact repositories (JFrog Artifactory).
• Runners & Infrastructure: Hands-on experience configuring, customizing, and scaling self-hosted GitHub Actions runners or Azure DevOps build agents.
• IaC & Scripting: Strong proficiency in Terraform, PowerShell, Bash, or Python.
