Provisioning: Use Apple Business Manager and Windows Autopilot for automated deployments.
VDI Ops: Optimize Amazon WorkSpaces, including directory management and custom image creation.

VDI: Hands-on experience with Amazon WorkSpaces.
Mobile: Experience running BYOD programs for iOS and Android.

Identity: Familiarity with Okta or Azure AD (Entra ID) for enrollment and SSO.

Bonus: AI Deployment Skills
Experience rolling out the following tools is a major plus:
