In my previous role, I identified latency issues in a regional network by analyzing traffic patterns and implementing a new routing protocol. This reduced latency by 25% and improved overall network efficiency. I also collaborated with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration and minimal downtime during the transition.

I prioritize projects based on their impact on business operations and user experience. For example, I would first address issues causing frequent downtime or significant performance degradation. I also consider the long-term ROI and scalability of each project to ensure resource allocation aligns with strategic goals.

I utilize tools like Wireshark, SolarWinds, and PRTG Network Monitor to capture and analyze network traffic. I also apply methodologies such as traffic flow analysis, packet inspection, and baseline performance monitoring to identify bottlenecks and areas for improvement.

I regularly attend industry conferences, participate in online courses, and follow leading publications and blogs. I also engage with professional communities and networking groups to exchange insights and stay informed about emerging technologies like SD-WAN and AI-driven network optimization.

I foster a collaborative environment by clearly defining roles and responsibilities, setting achievable milestones, and providing regular feedback. I encourage team members to share their expertise and ideas, ensuring diverse perspectives are considered. I also prioritize communication to keep everyone aligned and motivated throughout the project.
