 * Configure hybrid connectivity using Direct Connect (private VIFs, LAGs) and VPN failover patterns.
 * Engineer high-availability NAT Gateway and egress routing architectures with AZ-level failover.
 * Implement advanced Route53 configurations (split-horizon DNS, private hosted zones, conditional forwarding).
 * Design and configure inter-VPC connectivity using VPC Peering vs Transit Gateway based on scale and routing needs.
 * Implement Private Link (Interface & Gateway Endpoints) for secure connectivity without internet exposure.
 * Configure AWS Network Firewall policies, rule groups, and inspection VPC architectures.
 * Design multi-account networking using AWS Organizations and shared services VPC patterns.
 * Troubleshoot latency issues using VPC Flow Logs, packet path analysis, and Reachability Analyzer.
 * Analyze traffic patterns using Flow Logs and Traffic Mirroring for deep packet inspection scenarios.
 * Implement cross-region connectivity strategies using TGW peering and inter-region routing controls.
 * Enforce network security controls via NACLs, Security Groups, and firewall layers with least privilege design.
