Files H-1B transfers
6 transfer filings in the last year, covering 6 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 8 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.
Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.

- Moderate levels of stress may occur at times.
Responsibilities
- Owns end-to-end architecture of the global data center fabric, including spine-leaf and Clos-based designs, EVPN/VXLAN overlay, and high-density, low-latency topologies that support both enterprise and HPC workloads
- Architects and evolves the enterprise WAN, including MPLS, SD-WAN, dark fiber, and DWDM transport, to deliver resilient, low-latency connectivity between data centers, campuses, and cloud on-ramps
- does not design or manage the compute/HPC cluster itself)
- Leads capacity planning and lifecycle strategy for data center and WAN infrastructure, balancing performance, redundancy, and cost
- Partners with network security architecture teams to ensure segmentation, firewall policy, and access-control designs align with data center and WAN topology
