• Legacy Migration & Standardization: Oversee the phase-out/discontinuation of legacy shop-floor tools (e.g., Barflow MES) and lead the migration of functions to modern enterprise platforms (e.g., Jarvis).

• System Quality Assurance: Validate new software versions, conduct User Acceptance Testing (UAT) for key architecture updates, and support local Key Users during deployments.

Operations, Maintenance & Continuous Improvement

• Level 3 IS Support: Analyze escalated functional/technical incidents, conduct root-cause analyses for critical outages, and decide on code fixes versus systemic evolutions.
