• proven experience leading and managing high-performance service engineering teams, with an emphasis on reliability, automation, and customer success.
• Strong knowledge of ITIL, Agile methodologies, and enterprise IT governance frameworks.

Core Competencies:

• Expertise in designing and maintaining highly available, scalable, and resilient distributed systems.
