• Database & Performance:  Optimize MariaDB database queries and manage indexing for speed and reliability.
• DevOps & Server Management:  Oversee the production hosting environment (Linux/Ubuntu, Docker, Nginx). Manage deployments via CI/CD pipelines, handle backups, and ensure high availability/uptime.
