Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong track record of configuring and managing site-to-site VPN connections, ensuring seamless data transfer and enhanced security across hybrid cloud environments. My role as a Senior Cloud Engineer at Novare allowed me to provide technical guidance to the CloudOps team, ensuring smooth operations and achieving 99.9% uptime for critical services.
