Led Data Center network migrations for 30,000+ servers including on-premises DC consolidations and migrations to Microsoft Azure — coordinating BGP routing policy, VPN topology, firewall dependency mapping, load balancer reconfiguration (F5/Citrix ADC), and Extranet circuit connectivity — delivering $7M in cost savings. Diagnosed and resolved P1 production incidents (BGP flapping, IPsec VPN failures, IKE Phase 1/2 mismatches) via structured RCA with cross-functional teams. Improved workflow accuracy by identifying and correcting dependency-analysis gaps involving indirect firewall object relationships, enhancing agent logic and validation processes before production execution.
