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.

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.
