Senior Microsoft 365 & Azure Solution Architect | Enterprise Cloud, Modern Workplace & Transformation. Senior Microsoft 365 & Azure Solution Architect with 20+ years of enterprise IT experience, specializing in Microsoft cloud, messaging, identity, modern workplace and complex hybrid environments. I help organizations turn complicated technology problems into practical, secure and supportable solutions. Whether you need an architecture designed, a migration planned, a difficult Microsoft 365 problem investigated, or an existing environment assessed and improved, I bring both the strategic architecture perspective and the hands-on technical depth to get to the right answer. What I can help with: • Microsoft 365 / Office 365 architecture and transformation • Azure solution architecture and cloud strategy • Exchange Online & Exchange hybrid architecture • Microsoft Entra ID / identity and hybrid identity • Intune, endpoint management and Modern Workplace • Microsoft Teams architecture and voice • Microsoft Purview, security and compliance architecture • Cloud migration strategy, planning and execution • Technical assessments, health checks and architecture reviews • Complex troubleshooting and root-cause analysis • Solution design, HLD/LLD and technical documentation • Automation using PowerShell, Microsoft Graph and Azure DevOps • Technology roadmaps, technical strategy and advisory My approach is simple: understand the problem first, then design the right solution. I don't believe in forcing a particular Microsoft technology simply because it is available. I look at your business requirements, existing environment, constraints, security requirements, operational model and future direction before recommending an approach. I can work at different levels — from working directly with technical teams to presenting architecture and recommendations to senior stakeholders. Why clients work with me: • 20+ years working with Microsoft technologies • Deep Exchange / Microsoft 365 expertise combined with broader Azure knowledge • Enterprise-scale migration and transformation experience • Strong architecture, troubleshooting and problem-solving capability • Comfortable working across strategy, design and implementation • Able to communicate complex technical issues clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders • Practical, outcome-focused approach rather than technology for technology's sake My goal is not simply to deliver a technical design. It's to help you make the right technology decision, reduce risk, and get the outcome you actually need. If you have a Microsoft 365, Azure, identity, messaging or Modern Workplace problem that needs a senior architect's perspective, let's talk.
