- BigPanda Expertise: 5+ years of hands-on experience spanning the lifecycle of BigPanda implementation, configuration, and day-to-day administration.
- GCP Exposure: Practical experience working with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) monitoring frameworks and understanding how cloud-native events map to correlation engines.
- Monitoring Ecosystem: Solid foundational experience with enterprise monitoring and APM tools such as Moogsoft, Netcool, and Dynatrace.
- AIOps & ITSM: Deep conceptual and practical understanding of algorithmic event correlation, alert noise reduction, and modern ITSM processes.
