• A secure, reliable, and high-performing database platform for critical services.
• Reduced manual effort through automated deployment and configuration workflows.
• Better data integration and modeling that support data-driven services.
• Strong continuity and recovery readiness for a sensitive operational environment.
• A maintainable platform foundation that supports modernization without disruption.

ENVIRONMENT

• InterSystems IRIS, Python backend development, GitLab CI/CD, and Ansible.
