Senior Windows Client Engineer specializing in Intune, Autopilot, MECM and automation.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Windows Client Engineer with 20+ years designing, deploying, and supporting large-scale Windows endpoint environments across healthcare, retail, university, and Fortune 500 organizations.
I specialize in Intune (MDM/MAM), Autopilot, MECM/SCCM, Azure AD/Entra ID, secure image engineering, Group Policy compliance, and vulnerability remediation, and I bring advanced PowerShell and automation experience to reduce manual effort.
My background includes work in HIPAA-regulated environments and executive-level support at leading enterprises; notable achievements include migrating 1,000+ devices to Windows 11 with no operational downtime and significantly improving patch compliance and security posture.
Currently I deliver AI-powered automation workflows for solopreneurs and consultants and am seeking a 100% remote Windows Client / Endpoint Engineering role where I can apply endpoint engineering, zero-touch deployment, and automation to drive operational efficiency and security.
