  • Lead major infrastructure projects and upgrades, coordinating cross-functional teams.
  • Mentor junior and mid-level engineers, reviewing designs and delivering training.
  • Collaborate with IT architects on infrastructure roadmaps and emerging technologies.
  • Maintain documentation and enforce structured change management processes.
