SolarWinds and Nagios are listed together under the Preferred section as interchangeable monitoring tool examples; captured as a single preferred skill with Nagios as an alternative.
Semiconductor industry experience is listed as preferred but names no specific technology or tool, so it was omitted per extraction rules.
Android and Windows phones/tablets are mentioned in the required qualifications as supported device types; Android is the only distinct named platform captured as a skill (Windows is already captured separately).
The 2+ years requirement is stated at the role level with no specific technology attached, so it is reflected in total experience rather than on any individual skill.
