• Lead application teams through reliability assessments, production readiness reviews, and resilience improvement plans
• Establish reusable reliability patterns, standards, and scorecards that improve consistency across application teams
• Execute fault injection scenarios using AWS Fault Injection Service (FIS) across compute, database, network, and dependency layers
