    • Authored and maintained runbooks, room-type standards, and incident documentation used across the EMEA AVE team to standardize service delivery.
    • Supported Zoom / Microsoft Teams / Webex coexistence on shared room hardware — codec firmware management, provisioning, and certificate renewal.
