SOC 2 compliance for Terraform — gap analysis, control implementation, evidence collection, and remediation guidance mapped to SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria.

Structured platform troubleshooting — classifies the problem layer, collects evidence, forms a root-cause hypothesis, and proposes a fix with validation and rollback steps.

Troubleshoots Flux CD and Argo CD — classifies reconciliation failures, image automation issues, sync loops, and promotion problems with exact evidence commands and fixes.

Linkerd-specific diagnostics — mTLS verification, proxy injection issues, authorization policy debugging, traffic management, and multi-cluster connectivity problems.

Linux administration and networking diagnostics — DNS, load balancing, VPCs, kernel tuning, and connectivity troubleshooting.

Apply product thinking to platform work — DevEx audits, friction analysis, RFC/ADR drafting, incident communication, post-mortems, capacity planning, cost optimisation, and platform health review.

Reviews a Kubernetes manifest, Terraform file, GitHub Actions workflow, Helm values, or any platform configuration for correctness, security, and operational safety.

Runs through the full Terraform validation pipeline — fmt, validate, tflint, security scan — and reviews a module or plan for blast radius, IAM risk, and state impact.

Hands-on guidance for platform and DevOps engineers working with Kubernetes, Terraform, GitOps, GitHub Actions, AWS, Azure, Linkerd, Linux, networking, and compliance. Use when designing or troubleshooting Kubernetes workloads and RBAC, writing Terraform modules, configuring Flux or Argo CD, setting up CI/CD pipelines, managing cloud identity and IAM, handling secrets, diagnosing DNS or VPC connectivity, operating a service mesh, applying product thinking to developer experience, or implementing SOC 2 compliance controls in Terraform — at any scale, for any team size.
