CKS, CKAD and CKA all held, plus AWS DevOps Engineer Professional, which is an unusually complete Kubernetes and cloud certification set for 7 years in. Works as an embedded SRE rotating across developer teams every 2 to 3 months, bringing services up to standard and building the centralised platform, governance, monitoring and observability behind them. Security is baked in rather than bolted on, with policy-as-code, secrets management, OIDC and Keycloak, and zero trust patterns in regulated environments.
