  • Skilled in troubleshooting LAN, WAN, and Wi-Fi issues using structured methods, packet capture, logs, and performance data.
  • Comfortable executing production changes, validating outcomes, and managing routing, VLAN, firewall, and wireless configurations.
  • Capable of contributing to repeatable deployment patterns through templates, documentation, scripting, or infrastructure-as-code.
