• Oversee and manage enterprise-wide patching strategies to ensure timely updates across all infrastructure components, including servers, endpoints, and network devices.

• Oversee Active Directory (AD), DNS architecture and operations, including domain controllers, group policies, organizational units, and user/group management.

• Monitor Proactively: Leverage tools like Datadog to create comprehensive dashboards and alerts, providing real-time insights into system health and performance.

• Evolve Infrastructure: Transition legacy IaaS systems to modern, cloud-native solutions, ensuring all parts of the environment meet the highest standards of scalability and resilience.

• Collaborate Across Teams: Work closely with developers, DevOps engineers, and QA teams to ensure infrastructure aligns with business needs and supports seamless deployments.
