@briansantiago
IT Support Specialist delivering fast Tier 1–3 Microsoft 365 and identity support with security-minded troubleshooting and documentation.
What I'm looking for
I’m an IT Support Specialist with 3+ years of Tier 1–3 support experience across education and healthcare environments. I thrive on resolving high-volume tickets quickly—400+ monthly—while maintaining strong SLA compliance and clear, audit-ready documentation.
I support identity and cloud environments daily, handling Active Directory, Entra ID/Azure AD, Microsoft 365, and Google Workspace. I focus on MFA enrollment, password resets, license management, access reviews, and least-privilege updates, while partnering with security and compliance needs.
I also support endpoint and security-adjacent work, including NinjaOne RMM patching, GPO-based hardening, and phishing/escalation workflows. From troubleshooting Windows, VPN, and classroom endpoints to collecting evidence for HIPAA/SOX readiness, I build SOPs, runbooks, and repeatable processes to reduce rework.
