- Oversee installation, configuration, troubleshooting, and performance optimization for diverse network environments and medical information systems.
- Lead cybersecurity initiatives, champion Zero Trust architecture, and ensure compliance with DoD/DHA standards to safeguard sensitive medical data.
- Inspire excellence in a technical team and foster collaboration across organizations to maintain 24/7 operational readiness.
- Tackle complex issues across all layers of the OSI model using advanced network tools (SolarWinds, ARMIS, Ansible), and continually evolve our network to meet future needs.

- Experience supporting (DHA) military healthcare IT systems is essential; you understand the urgency, security, and complexity that comes with the mission.
