Professional Skills
  • Strong communication and customer service skills
  • Ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical users via written documentation
  • Positive, collaborative, and solution-oriented mindset
  • Self-motivated learner with a passion for network engineering and technology advancement

Preferred Qualifications
