• Automate infrastructure tasks using PowerShell
• Manage the full Windows Server lifecycle (builds, upgrades, patching)
• Partner with hardware and data‑center teams on capacity planning and performance optimization
• Troubleshoot complex production issues across compute, storage, and networking layers

• Strong hands‑on experience with Hyper‑V in enterprise environments
• Deep knowledge of Windows Server and Failover Clustering
• Proficiency with PowerShell for automation and administration
• Experience supporting production, mission‑critical systems
