• Keep Everything Connected Troubleshoot networking across VNETs, sites, and tenants. Firewalls, load balancers, DNS (Azure + Cloudflare), you speak the language fluently and fix problems before they become fires.
• Be the Go-To Expert When Azure, Entra ID, or M365 issues get complicated, you're who the team calls. You'll lead projects end-to-end and keep stakeholders, technical and non-technical alike, in the loop every step of the way.
