- Strong knowledge of Windows 10/11, thin-client platforms, golden images, profile technologies such as FSLogix, application layering/packaging, group policy, and endpoint management.

- Experience with Intune, MECM/SCCM, Defender for Endpoint, identity integration, network dependencies, capacity planning, and high-availability design.

- Demonstrated performance engineering and troubleshooting using endpoint, session, application, network, and infrastructure telemetry.

- Working knowledge of RMF, STIGs, Zero Trust, patching, vulnerability management, audit logging, and classified endpoint constraints.

- Experience developing reference architectures, migration plans, operational acceptance criteria, and lifecycle/upgrade strategies.

- Demonstrated technical leadership, mentoring, cross-team conflict resolution, and customer communication.
