What I'm looking for

I seek a senior IT role focused on Microsoft/Azure cloud migrations and identity, with opportunities to lead projects, mentor teams, and improve security/compliance practices.

I am an experienced IT consultant with over a decade of hands-on expertise designing, deploying, and securing enterprise Microsoft environments, including Exchange migrations to M365, Azure/Entra identity integration, and high-availability architectures. I have led complex projects across global tenants and managed operational responsibilities such as server patching, backup validation, vendor procurement, and helpdesk oversight.

I excel at delivering stable, scalable infrastructure solutions and documentation, training staff, and implementing cloud security and compliance tools like Microsoft Purview, Mimecast, Exclaimer, and Intune. My background spans virtualization (VMware/Hyper-V), PowerShell automation, and unified communications (Lync/Skype for Business/MS Teams), with proven success migrating tens of thousands of users and driving adoption.
