I build secure, highly available cloud and hybrid IT infrastructure.
What I'm looking for
At NMC Managed Services, I support and optimize cloud and hybrid IT environments, administering Microsoft 365, Azure AD/Entra ID, Intune, endpoint security, and infrastructure services that keep operations available and secure.
I've led system upgrades, migrations, and technology implementations with minimal downtime, while applying MFA, Conditional Access, identity governance, device compliance, and preventive maintenance to reduce cloud and security risks. Previously at The Orange Crew, I led an endpoint-security migration from Webroot to CrowdStrike across more than 2,500 devices.
Across roles with Canadian FSSP, USAID AMD, Al Ain American School, and Liwa International School, I've managed enterprise Windows Server, Active Directory, virtualization, LAN/WAN/WLAN networks, firewalls, backups, storage, DNS, DHCP, VoIP, and end-user support. I bring over 20 years of progressive systems and network administration experience to mission-critical environments.
