• Lead Huawei implementation across iMaster NCE Fabric and Campus, CloudEngine and S-series switching, NE and AR routing, and Huawei firewalls, and integrate other vendors' platforms.
• Deliver IP core/provider-edge transformations, technology refreshes, SDN and multi-vendor migrations, and live-production cutovers with validation and fallback plans.
• Build network fabrics for AI/GPU workloads and integrate networks with firewalls, load balancers, virtualisation, cloud platforms and existing multi-vendor estates.
• Prepare HLDs/LLDs, test plans, methods of procedure, migration and rollback plans, and as-built records; lead customer UAT and formal acceptance.
