Architect and operate multi-regional Azure footprints including cross-region failover, geo-replication, and latency-aware traffic design
Configure and manage Akamai edge policies — CDN, WAF, DDoS mitigation, TLS offload, and API Gateway rules
Implement and maintain Azure Traffic Manager for DNS-level global load balancing, health probing, and regional failover
Distributed Systems
Design and operate Apache Kafka infrastructure — broker configuration, topic and partition management, consumer group tuning, schema governance, and multi-cluster replication
Manage MongoDB deployments (replica sets, sharding, backup/restore strategies) on Kubernetes and/or Azure-managed equivalents
Support Redis deployments — clustering, eviction policies, persistence, and high availability configuration
