IMPORTANT POSITION ALIGNMENT
The resume intentionally does not claim direct 5+ year data-center operations management, hyperscale/Meta operations, fiber backbone deployment, or SLA ownership because those qualifications are not documented in the source CV. Instead, it emphasizes documented operations, supervision, safety, technical troubleshooting, resource management, training, scheduling, and stakeholder-management experience that can transfer to the role.
