Experience operating in complex customer environments, including enterprise networking, data centre, cloud and hybrid environments, with practical Microsoft Azure networking experience across VNets, subnets, peering, network security groups, route tables, VPN gateways, ExpressRoute integration and hub-and-spoke designs. Ability to troubleshoot Azure and hybrid network connectivity issues using hands-on investigation, including effective routes, firewall policies, NSG rules, UDRs, DNS, VPN/ExpressRoute paths and end-to-end traffic flow analysis. Experience conducting network audits, health checks, configuration reviews and technical risk assessments.
