• Act as technical lead on infrastructure‑heavy projects
• Coordinate closely with NOC, Security, M365, and Project teams to ensure clean delivery and handoff

• Mentor Network / Infrastructure Administrators
• Provide guidance on troubleshooting approaches, design considerations, and best practices

• Infrastructure performance analysis and root cause diagnostics
