- L2/L3 .NET application support diagnosing production issues in .NET Core REST APIs and ASP.NET WebForms applications; reading .NET stack traces, application logs, and event logs
- Windows Server administration IIS configuration and troubleshooting (application pools, bindings, request tracing), Windows Event Log analysis, performance counters
- SQL Server troubleshooting blocking queries, deadlocks, long running queries, plan cache issues, SQL Server error logs; DBA level diagnosis (not full DBA, but able to identify and coordinate resolution)
- Log analysis Windows Event Log, IIS logs, .NET application logs, structured logging output; correlating logs across multiple layers to identify root cause
- AppDynamic (or equivalent APM) monitoring dashboard configuration, custom alert setup, performance baseline management, transaction tracing, JVM/CLR performance analysis
- Incident and problem management ITIL framework: incident classification, escalation procedures, RCA methodology (5 whys, fishbone), problem lifecycle management, post incident review

- Documentation discipline every incident recorded, every RCA filed, every runbook updated; this documentation is regularly reviewed by Client IT Administration
- Escalation judgment knows when to resolve independently vs. escalating to the Technical Lead, DBA, or infrastructure team; wrong escalation decisions (either direction) cost time that the SLA does not have
- Availability and reliability on call is a contractual obligation, not an informal arrangement; consistent responsiveness is non negotiable and directly affects the Client's assessment of contract performance
