• Strong Windows systems administration and enterprise IT infrastructure experience. 

• Experience supporting modern cloud platforms, automation tooling, and DevOps practices. 

• Familiarity with Kubernetes, containers, GitHub, Helm, CI/CD pipelines, or infrastructure-as-code tools. 

• Solid understanding of networking, security, identity management, and enterprise infrastructure design. 

• Experience administering firewalls, VPNs, switching, or wireless infrastructure.
