Kilian ELSAS

I’m a bilingual Cloud & Infrastructure Engineer with hands-on experience in Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 administration, including identity management and system migrations. I’m passionate about automation, security, and cost optimization, and I’ve delivered an average 20–30% reduction on Azure monthly billing through FinOps practices.

As a Freelance Cloud & Infrastructure Engineer (full remote, async-friendly), I migrate on-premise Windows Server infrastructures to Microsoft Azure, deploy identity solutions in Entra ID (AAD) with MFA and Conditional Access, and implement remote work environments using Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD). I also manage Microsoft 365 tenants (Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, Intune) and advise nonprofits on Microsoft for Nonprofits grants and licensing, including near zero licensing cost for a 30-person nonprofit. Previously, as a System & Network Administrator, I handled servers, workstations, network equipment, and provided Level 2 & Level 3 support while administering Active Directory, Group Policy, and Exchange—so I bring both cloud depth and strong operational troubleshooting.
