Develop and maintain automation playbooks and scripts to improve efficiency, reduce manual effort, and ensure consistent system configurations.
Administer and support virtualization platforms, including Hyper‑V and VMware, ensuring optimal performance, resource allocation, and high availability.

Implement security best practices, including system hardening, vulnerability remediation, identity protection, and CIP‑aligned compliance controls.
Perform patch management and software deployments across Windows and cloud environments in accordance with regulatory and security requirements.
Monitor system health, analyze logs, and troubleshoot complex issues across on‑prem and cloud platforms to ensure stability and operational continuity.
Maintain documentation for system configurations, procedures, and compliance evidence to support audits and regulatory obligations.
Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to support application deployments, cloud integrations, virtualization strategy, and infrastructure modernization initiatives.
