- Proven expertise in engineering and managing desktop environments across multiple operating systems (Windows, macOS, Ubuntu) using central management tools such as Jamf Pro, Microsoft Intune, or similar.
- Experience managing endpoint estates using modern configuration management tools (e.g., SaltStack, Puppet, Ansible) and applying GitOps practices for desired-state configuration and automated deployment.
