• Deploy and operate your services on AWS (ECS Lambda SQS) using Docker and infrastructure-as-code (AWS CDK in TypeScript some Terraform) with CI/CD through CodeBuild.

• Use AI-assisted development tools (e.g. Claude Code GitHub Copilot Cursor) as a core part of your daily workflow for code generation refactoring test authoring and navigating unfamiliar legacy code while applying senior-level judgment to review verify and own everything you ship.
