What I'm looking for
As a Systems Engineer and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 15 years of experience, I have a proven track record of transforming enterprise environments through modernization and cloud adoption. My expertise spans across Microsoft 365, Azure, and hybrid systems, where I have successfully owned the technical strategy from design through deployment. I am passionate about integrating new technologies and managing large migrations to build highly available environments.
In my current role at Georgia Institute of Technology, I deployed Microsoft Copilot across departments, enhancing workflows and productivity. I have also administered Microsoft 365 GCCH tenant compliant with FedRAMP High standards and implemented Microsoft Purview for enterprise compliance. My previous experience at Truist Financial involved leading modernization efforts for over 80,000 users, architecting disaster recovery environments, and driving cloud-first migration strategies. I thrive on challenges and am dedicated to driving intelligent workflows with AI tooling and scalable cloud-native practices.
