What I'm looking for

I am a Senior IT Consultant and Technical Leader with 17+ years delivering cloud transformations, hybrid identity, PKI, virtualization, and disaster recovery across banking, government, telecom and enterprise sectors. I currently serve as a Senior Technical Advisor at Microsoft, driving resolution of complex enterprise cases and leading hybrid Active Directory, Azure, and Entra ID strategies.

I have led and delivered 100+ projects, mentored technical teams, and managed critical escalations and cross-functional stakeholders to restore customer environments and implement Zero Trust, automation, and resilient cloud architectures. I hold multiple Microsoft certifications and possess deep experience in VMware, Dell, Symantec, Azure services, and enterprise data center technologies.
