I build and secure Microsoft 365 and Azure environments, leading migrations, identity management, and enterprise support.
What I'm looking for
I've supported Microsoft 365 and Azure environments for international clients across the United States and the UAE, most recently as a Senior Microsoft 365 Engineer at 5 IT Solutions.
I lead tenant deployments, tenant-to-tenant migrations, hybrid infrastructure, and Level 3 support across Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Intune, Entra ID, Defender, and Purview. I've completed multiple migrations with zero or minimal downtime while meeting SLA targets.
I strengthen cloud security through Conditional Access, MFA, Identity Protection, RBAC, Defender recommendations, and email authentication controls. I also automate administration with PowerShell and Microsoft Graph, mentor junior engineers, and manage major incidents.
