Infrastructure provisioning and updates
Plan, apply, and drift detection processes
Enforce code quality and policy checks (e.g., SonarQube, linting tools).

Environment & Release Management
Manage lifecycle of infrastructure across multiple environments.
Enable rollback mechanisms, and environment consistency.
Collaborate with development teams to ensure seamless integration of infrastructure with applications.

Security & Governance
Implement best practices for IAM roles, policies, and least-privilege access.
Ensure compliance with security standards and governance frameworks.
Manage secrets securely using GCP-native or integrated tools.

Troubleshooting & Optimization
Diagnose and resolve complex infrastructure deployment issues.
Optimize Terraform configurations for performance, cost, and reliability.
Identify and remediate infrastructure drift and inconsistencies.
