Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Implementation

• Design and implement solutions leveraging GCP services, including Compute Engine, Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, and App Engine.
• Develop data handling solutions using BigQuery, Dataflow, Pub/Sub, and Cloud Storage.
• Configure security via Cloud IAM and data storage solutions like Cloud SQL, Firestore, or Bigtable.
• Implement observability using Cloud Logging, Monitoring, and Trace, while actively optimizing application performance and cost efficiency on GCP.
  
  

DevOps & Infrastructure Automation

• Automate infrastructure provisioning using Terraform (Infrastructure as Code) or Deployment Manager.
• Containerize applications using Docker and deploy them to GKE or Cloud Run.
• Implement and manage CI/CD pipelines using Cloud Build, Artifact Registry, and Cloud Deploy.
