- Kubernetes platforms — GKE design and deployment: private clusters, Workload Identity, Helm add-ons, ingress, Cloud Armor.
- DevOps / IaC enablement — import hand-built environments into Terraform, reusable modules, GitHub Actions with Workload Identity Federation, Argo CD.
- Engagement ownership — weekly customer meeting, board and hours current, scope protected via change management, budget deviations flagged early, handover with docs/runbooks/knowledge transfer.

- CI/CD (10%) — GitHub Actions (or equivalent) with keyless auth to GCP, container workflows, GitOps with Argo CD or similar.
- Source-cloud fluency (8%) — working knowledge of AWS or Azure; must read the source environment being migrated.
- AI-driven working (8%) — proficient daily use of AI tools with judgment: what to accept, what to reject, and why.

Nice to Have:
- Current Google Cloud certification (funded; expected within first months if missing).
