• Implement infrastructure automation using Infrastructure as Code practices.

Migration Execution & Validation

• Execute migration waves following approved migration plans, runbooks, and change management procedures.
• Perform User Acceptance Testing (UAT), production parallel testing, and technical validation activities.
• Compare pre-migration and post-migration results, capture evidence, troubleshoot discrepancies, and drive issues through resolution.
• Support production cutovers, release activities, rollback procedures, and post-release validation.
• Perform post-migration health checks to ensure workload stability, performance, scalability, and operational readiness.

Performance Optimization & Operations

• Perform workload tuning and optimization to ensure migrated applications are stable, scalable, reliable, and cost efficient.
• Analyze performance metrics, resource utilization, logs, and operational data to identify optimization opportunities.
• Support monitoring, alerting, backup, disaster recovery, patching, and operational support requirements.
• Assist with cloud cost optimization through resource right-sizing and utilization analysis.

Collaboration & Stakeholder Management

• Partner with application engineering, infrastructure, security, database, and platform teams to define migration plans and execution strategies.
• Collaborate with business stakeholders to establish validation criteria, acceptance requirements, and migration timelines.
• Participate in architecture reviews, technical discussions, and solution design activities.
• Communicate technical risks, dependencies, progress, and migration status effectively.

Automation & Continuous Improvement

• Design, enhance, and implement automation frameworks to enable repeatable, scalable, and efficient cloud migrations.
• Develop AI-assisted solutions and automation capabilities to improve migration discovery, analysis, execution, and documentation processes.
• Create reusable scripts, templates, tools, and frameworks supporting migration factory operations.
• Document migration procedures, technical standards, operational learnings, risks, and best practices.
• Continuously improve migration methodologies, processes, and delivery models.
