What I'm looking for

I'm open to full-time and contract opportunities where I can lead cloud migrations, modernize hybrid infrastructure, strengthen security, and support enterprise Azure, Nutanix, VMware, and Microsoft 365 environments.

I've delivered cloud, virtualization, and infrastructure modernization across financial services, hospitality, retail, healthcare, and MSP environments for more than 20 years.

At PliantCloud, I managed hybrid cloud and on-premises infrastructure for 12+ remote clients, led VMware vCenter and Hyper-V upgrades, and administered backup and disaster recovery for 75+ servers. I also deployed Azure, Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Intune, and endpoint security tooling for MSP clients.

I've led large-scale migrations at Broadridge Financial Solutions and the New York Hotel Trades Council, including migrating 1,000+ users with Intune Autopilot and moving email and file services to Azure. I build secure, resilient environments using Azure, Nutanix, VMware, PowerShell, Terraform, and enterprise backup and security platforms.
