- Implement and support multi-stage and parallel workflows
- Integrate and maintain security tools (SAST, DAST, container scanning, compliance checks)
- Assist teams in translating legacy Jenkins/Automic pipelines into GitLab workflows
- Improve performance and reliability through caching, artifact management, and pipeline optimization
- Support the transition of container build processes from Docker to Podman
