Strong experience designing and executing performance testing strategies, including load, stress, spike, and endurance (soak) testing, to validate application scalability and defined latency and error-rate thresholds.

Hands-on experience with performance testing tools such as JMeter, Gatling, Azure Load Testing, or k6.

Experience validating application services sustaining 500+ transactions per second (TPS) while meeting defined performance objectives.

Hands-on experience deploying and managing containerized applications using Docker and Kubernetes, including autoscaling and performance optimization.

Experience using Terraform to provision and manage cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC).

Experience tuning Kafka (partitioning, consumer group sizing, throughput/latency trade-offs) and other messaging/queueing platforms to sustain target transaction rates.

Hands-on experience implementing and using observability platforms including OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, Azure Monitor, Application Insights, and Log Analytics.
