  • Disaster Recovery (DR/BCP): Define backup policies, execute restore tests, maintain failover runbooks, and report on RTO/RPO metrics.
  • Release & Automation: Establish environment readiness gates, conduct rollback rehearsals, and leverage PowerShell, Azure CLI, Bicep, or Terraform for task automation.
  • Leadership & Collaboration: Mentor IT Ops Analysts, enforce change control standards, and partner with the Integrations team to ensure Rhapsody infrastructure resiliency and throughput.
