@savannahvillet
Senior IT engineer specializing in Azure/Microsoft 365, ITSM, and project delivery for enterprise teams.
What I'm looking for
I’m a versatile IT professional with 8+ years of progressive experience spanning senior technical engineering, systems analysis, project delivery, and team leadership. I translate complex technical environments into clear business outcomes—optimizing cloud licensing costs, building scalable IT infrastructure, and driving process improvements across multi-site operations.
Recently, I managed end-to-end IT operations across 12 Amazon sites, triaging and resolving incidents with near-zero downtime while maintaining compliance. Before that, I delivered external MSP IT consultancy to 100+ SME clients—resolving 150+ tickets weekly, standardizing solutions via playbooks and runbooks, and administering Azure AD, Exchange, Intune, and monitoring/security reporting to keep services stable and audits-ready.
