Infrastructure Deployment Solutions:

Develop solutions for end-to-end deployment of IT assets including GPU racks, network appliances, and cabling across hyperscaler data centers. Includes rack energization, asset labeling, and tracking. Design site-specific technician teams and remote operations to ensure consistent execution across locations

Network Architecture & Planning:

Develop solutions for the design and validation of network topologies for hyperscale environments, including spine-leaf architectures, high-bandwidth interconnects, and redundancy planning. Develop solutions for the installation and configuration of switches, routers, firewalls, and load balancers. Ensure compliance with hyperscaler standards for latency, throughput, and fault tolerance.

Program Governance & Risk Managment:

Provide guidance and consultation to delivery partners to complete risk assessments and mitigation plans for infrastructure deployments. Design program-level visibility and reporting across multi-site efforts into solution offerings. Collaborate with platform teams to align network architecture with broader cloud and AI strategies.

Stakeholder Engagement:

Interface with hyperscaler clients (e.g., Microsoft, Oracle) to gather requirements and present solutions. Lead technical discussions with engineering, operations, and executive stakeholders.

Develop proposals and contribute to strategic planning for future deployments
