  • 10+ years' experience as a Microsoft-based technology engineer
  • Proven experience designing and implementing clustered Microsoft Hyper-V and Microsoft Azure environments
  • Experience developing PowerShell-based systems
  • Microsoft SQL Server clusters implementation and management skills
  • Windows desktop and server configuration management skills
  • Familiarity with managing projects that span multiple teams to successful completion
  • A general design approach that incorporates security best practices, business continuity, high availability, and scalability
