• Ensure Performance and Reliability:
  Monitor, maintain, and optimize the performance of critical infrastructure systems, including high‑performance storage (Pure Storage, VAST Data) and virtual environments (VMware, VDI).
• Troubleshoot and Resolve:
  Act as the escalation point for resolving complex infrastructure‑related issues and outages promptly to maintain factory uptime.
• Collaborate and Document:
  Work closely with development, security, and operations teams to support application deployment and maintain clear documentation of all infrastructure designs and procedures.
