What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on systems or endpoint administration role where I can lead patching and device management efforts, mentor engineers, and collaborate with security teams to improve compliance and operational resiliency.

I am a Systems Administrator with deep experience managing endpoints across Windows, macOS, and Chrome OS, focused on security, compliance, and reliable operations.

I designed and implemented a monthly patching schedule for 7,000+ endpoints and maintain gold images, Group Policies, and Intune/MECM configurations to keep environments secure and up to date.

I have led and mentored End-User Computing engineers, served as technical escalation, and run device enrollment projects (Autopilot, Apple Business Manager) and MDM/Co-management rollouts.

I produce clear technical documentation, quick reference guides, and knowledge base articles, and I collaborate with IT Security and Networks to reduce vulnerabilities and streamline application and OS deployments.
