The Two-Second Version: Senior Microsoft cloud infrastructure engineer with 25+ years of experience and $100K+ earned on Upwork.

Available for async engagements and ongoing retainer support. The Long Version: I'm a senior IT infrastructure engineer with 25+ years of experience and a track record of $100K+ in completed Upwork engagements, specializing in Microsoft 365 administration, Entra ID and Azure governance, Intune device management, and endpoint security. I help businesses and MSPs modernize and secure their Microsoft cloud environments — from tenant hardening and Conditional Access policy design to Intune/Autopilot rollouts and Microsoft Purview deployment. I've managed and supported environments exceeding 1,000 users, led mail and tenant migrations across Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, and built PowerShell and Power Automate workflows that eliminate repetitive administrative work at scale. On the security side, I hold CompTIA Security+ and have hands-on experience with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, CrowdStrike, QRadar and Stellar SIEM, and Microsoft Purview — supporting CMMC and HIPAA-adjacent compliance requirements. I work well async: clear documentation, proactive status updates, and fast turnaround (typical response time under 4 hours). Whether you need a single complex migration handled end-to-end or ongoing M365/Azure administration support as an extension of your team, I bring enterprise-grade rigor without enterprise-grade overhead. Core specialties: Microsoft 365 tenant administration and hardening, Entra ID (Azure AD) and Conditional Access, Intune/Autopilot/MDM device management, Exchange Online and SharePoint Online administration, PowerShell and PnP PowerShell automation, Power Automate and n8n workflow design, Windows Server and Active Directory, endpoint security and SIEM administration.
