• Microsoft Stack: Solid experience with Windows 10/11, Microsoft 365 administration (Exchange, Teams, Entra ID/Azure AD), Active Directory, and Group Policy.

• Networking Fundamentals: Strong working knowledge of networking concepts including DNS, DHCP, TCP/IP, and Wi-Fi/VPN troubleshooting.

• Virtualization: Exposure to supporting Citrix virtual desktop environments and remote access tools.
