Execute test migrations, validate replicated workloads, and troubleshoot migration issues.

Participate in migration wave planning and technical cutover preparation.

Perform production cutovers, post‑migration validation, and hypercare activities.

Troubleshoot operating system, networking, storage, DNS, Active Directory, and application connectivity issues.

Strong Windows Server and/or Linux administration and troubleshooting experience.
