Profiq provisioned application infrastructure using Terraform and defined CI/CD pipelines that automated PR reviews, builds, promotions and deployments. They deployed to GKE/CloudRun and Firebase, configured logging/monitoring/alerting, IAM/service accounts, load balancing and networking, and implemented Helm charts with ArgoCD for deployment automation. On the application side, they developed React frontends and Go/Node.js microservices, ensured high unit-test coverage (>90%), and built endpoints (GraphQL, REST, gRPC). They integrated a Neo4j graph database and implemented backend services for auditing events and AI/ML-based AuthZ recommendations using graph algorithms.
