What I'm looking for

My goal is to support admins and simplify the user experience. I’m looking to help enterprises get practical value from security tools through hands-on technical work, workshops, and increasingly, AI-assisted problem solving.

At Microsoft, I design and deliver Zero Trust security architectures for enterprise clients. I also lead security assessments that identify and remediate vulnerabilities across cloud environments.

At SoftwareOne, I implemented Microsoft Purview data protection and AI collaboration platforms, and built Microsoft Graph PowerShell scripts to automate security assessments. As a Modern Workplace Engineer, I designed a Windows 365 Cloud PC management product that later evolved into a VDI management solution.

Earlier, at Toyota Financial Services Corporation, I managed a hybrid Microsoft 365 environment and replaced legacy PBX infrastructure with Microsoft Teams Phone. I’ve spent 17+ years in IT across multiple countries, and I currently help enterprises get practical value from security tools through hands-on work and workshops.
