• Network security architecture - micro-segmentation, Zero Trust networking, perimeter modernization
• Multi-classification network environments and cross-domain solution architectures
• SATCOM, wireless integration, and tactical/edge network design
• Government telecommunications policy and compliance - direct experience with federal network environments is a strong advantage and preferred for this role
