Joey Bandiola
@joeybandiola
AI Solutions Architect building governed multi-agent systems across Microsoft 365 and Azure.
What I'm looking for
I’m a senior technology leader with 27+ years of enterprise IT experience spanning Microsoft enterprise architecture, modern web/application development, and AI transformation. I primarily architect full Microsoft 365, Azure/Entra ID, Intune, Defender, and hybrid Active Directory environments—while also building production web apps and AI enablement that move teams from AI-curious to AI-productive.
I founded HAITEK (Human AI Innovations & Transformations) and architected SmartMBX, an AI-powered medical billing platform built on a 38-agent multi-agent architecture with human-in-the-loop governance. I’ve led major cyber-incident recovery, reduced security incidents by ~80%, cut machine provisioning from 9+ hours to ~20 minutes, and replaced an enterprise ITSM platform with direct recurring cost savings—because I build systems (and now AI-accelerated teams) that run faster, safer, and smarter.
