Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) Expert | FSLogix, Performance & Cost
Slow AVD logins, FSLogix profile errors, or an Azure bill that keeps climbing? I fix Azure Virtual Desktop environments and make them cheaper to run. I'm an Azure Solutions Architect Expert (AZ-305) who builds and runs AVD in production: host pools, FSLogix, golden images, scaling plans, Intune-managed session hosts, and the RMM tooling around them. Before that I was an SRE at Adobe keeping 3,000 Windows servers patched and healthy. What I do: • AVD health & cost review: read-only assessment, plain-English report, prioritized fixes with dollar savings • Slow logon / FSLogix fixes: container sizing, corruption, storage tier • Cut AVD spend: VM right-sizing, scaling plans, start-on-connect, storage tiering • New AVD builds: Terraform or portal, Entra/hybrid join, Intune-managed, fully documented • File server to Azure Files migrations How I work: read-only first. I look before I touch anything, show you what I found, and only change what you approve.
