• CI/CD Pipeline Management: Maintain Jenkins builds, GitHub Actions workflows, and automated release processes to streamline code integration and deployment for development teams.

• Release Engineering: Build and package software releases, manage versioning strategies, and ensure consistent, repeatable build processes across multiple projects and environments targeting embedded platforms such as Android devices.

• Compilation Infrastructure: Support software engineers with local build optimization, manage EC2-based compilation clusters, and dockerize build environments to ensure consistent, scalable compilation processes across teams.

• Developer Tooling Support: Maintain GitLab repositories, configure branch protection rules, manage access controls, and provide technical support for development tools and processes.

• Development Support and Troubleshooting: Resolve build failures, debug compilation issues, and troubleshoot development environment problems to unblock software engineers and maintain their productivity.
