NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an IT infrastructure and Microsoft 365 administrator with about 15 years of expertise in datacenter operations, enterprise systems management, and cloud services. I focus on optimizing IT environments to improve system availability, align infrastructure with business goals, and strengthen disaster recovery readiness.
In my current role as Team Lead, Exchange/Microsoft365 Administration (Asst.Manager) at BEDCElectricity PLC, I lead Microsoft 365 and Exchange administration (user management, security, policies) and manage hybrid infrastructure across On-prem AD and Microsoft EntraID. I also oversee datacenter operations (servers, cooling, power, security systems) and ensure high availability through monitoring, backup, and disaster recovery planning.
Previously, I supported enterprise environments across multiple locations and administered Microsoft 365 (Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive) for 2000+ users. I’ve led a datacenter upgrade improving reliability and scalability by 30%, reduced asset-related incidents by 50% through policy implementation, and contributed to consolidating 4 datacenters into 2 with 50% cost reduction—backed by certifications including ISO 27001 ISMS Lead Implementer and ITIL Foundation.
