- ▪ Elastic & serverless bursting strategies
- ▪ Kubernetes/Helm stack design
Open Science Platforms
- ▪ Galaxy, Bioconductor, RStudio, Jupyter optimization
- ▪ Scalability & reproducibility focus
- ▪ Integration with secure environments (Terra, AnVIL)
DevOps & Automation
- ▪ Automated image & binary pipelines
- ▪ CI/CD for research software
- ▪ Container hardening & security
Training & Workshops
- ▪ Keycloak-backed ephemeral clusters
- ▪ Controlled access environments
- ▪ Documentation-first mentoring
