  • Profile and refactor legacy code to reduce technical debt over time
  • Write the Change Management integration tests that catch regressions before Toledo, OH ships them
  • Automate build, test, and deployment pipelines for faster release cycles
  • Cut AWS Solutions Architect cold-start times so Netflix Studios functions wake before OH users notice
  • Translate the people-centered Amazon EKS outage into fixes that make the next Toledo launch dull
