Client Platform Engineer specializing in Microsoft Intune governance, zero-touch deployment, and Zero Trust endpoint security automation.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Client Platform Engineer with 12 years building and managing Microsoft Modern Workplace environments at enterprise scale across Block, Uber, and Facebook. I focus on turning complex endpoint programs into repeatable pipelines that reduce overhead while improving device reliability.
My core strength is Microsoft Intune governance—especially Conditional Access, compliance baselines, and automated device health monitoring. I’ve built Windows Autopilot zero-touch provisioning to eliminate manual setup, and I design Zero Trust endpoint security frameworks using CIS hardening with continuous compliance enforcement.
I also bring practical automation to the full endpoint lifecycle: provisioning through secure offboarding, including remote wipe, lost device recovery, and self-healing update workflows. Across macOS and Windows fleets up to 20,000+ endpoints, I’ve used PowerShell and Python to drive CI-driven distribution (including Chocolatey), configuration management, and patch management with enterprise-grade consistency.
