Troubleshoot and resolve DevOps and security-related issues, minimizing downtime and ensuring high availability for VA corporate services and end-users. 

Integrate emerging technologies, such as containerization (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes) or Artificial Intelligence (AI), into DevOps processes, aligning with VA OIT’s modernization goals. 

Work with VA stakeholders, including the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) and Information Security Officer (ISO), to address security requirements and deliver exceptional customer outcomes. 

Provide technical expertise and mentorship to team members on DevOps tools, cloud security practices, and federal compliance, contributing to Trilogy’s staff development initiatives.
