Helping You Get the Most Out of Your Microsoft Stack – Securely & Sanely

Whether you’re facing a cloud migration, untangling identity sprawl, or need to modernize your endpoint and security infrastructure, I can help.

With over 20 years of experience in IT operations and cybersecurity, I’ve led initiatives across industries — from lean startup teams to global enterprise environments. I specialize in Microsoft security and management platforms, combining deep technical knowledge with a practical, get-it-done approach that balances compliance, usability, and real-world constraints.


What I Do

Cloud & Infrastructure Architecture

  • Azure and M365 security hardening
  • Hybrid identity: Azure AD / Entra + on-prem AD integration
  • Intune + Microsoft Configuration Manager for modern device management
  • VDI & virtualization strategies for secure remote access

Security Engineering & Governance

  • Zero Trust architecture design
  • Endpoint protection and threat response with Microsoft Defender Suite
  • Policy creation & enforcement (NIST 800-53/-171, GDPR alignment)
  • Identity & Access Management (IAM) strategy and implementation

Automation & Operational Efficiency

  • Streamlined patching and vulnerability remediation workflows
  • Microsoft 365 E3/E5 toolset optimization
  • Configuration baseline design and deployment
  • Automation of routine management tasks via PowerShell and Graph API

Consulting & Collaboration

  • Architecture reviews and strategy sessions
  • Hands-on implementation or oversight for internal teams
  • Cross-functional alignment between security, IT, and GRC
  • Friendly, flexible, and focused on solving your real-world problems

Why Work With Me?

I bring a rare combination of deep technical experience and practical execution — not just planning or pitching, but actually doing the work. I’ve led teams, built programs from scratch, and advised executive leadership — and I know how to tailor a solution that works for your environment, not someone else’s template.
