Results-driven IT Specialist securing Microsoft 365 and cloud infrastructure with measurable impact.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven IT Specialist with 6+ years of progressive experience managing Microsoft 365 environments, Windows infrastructure, Active Directory, endpoint security, and cloud platforms across high-compliance sectors like mining and healthcare.
I’ve built and administered Microsoft 365 operations end-to-end—handling Entra ID user lifecycle management, Conditional Access policies, and device compliance monitoring—while driving measurable outcomes such as a 30% improvement in IT helpdesk response times and a 15% reduction in technical incidents.
I’m equally focused on resilience and security: I design disaster recovery to prevent critical data loss, enforce endpoint protection, and support incident response and vulnerability assessment. I’m currently completing an MSc in Cybersecurity & Digital Forensics and actively pursuing AWS Cloud Practitioner, ITIL 4 Foundation, Cisco CCNA, and MD-102 Microsoft 365 Endpoint Administrator certifications.
