SharePoint & Microsoft 365 Solutions Architect | 20+ Years in IT

I build SharePoint Online intranets, quality management systems, document control, and Power Automate workflow automation. I have over 20 years of experience working in IT, including 10 years running my own cloud hosting business. Why My Background is Different ──────────────────── Most SharePoint consultants come from software development. I came up through infrastructure: Azure, Hyper-V, VMware, Citrix, RDS/AVD, Cisco networking, PowerShell, and identity. When a SharePoint or Power Automate project touches Entra ID, Exchange, networking, or a line-of-business system, I do not stop at the boundary. The solutions I build integrate further and hold up better in production. What I Build ──────── • SharePoint Online intranets, hub architecture, and modern site design • QMS and Integrated Management Systems aligned to ISO 9001 and other standards • Document control, metadata taxonomy, and large-scale library restructuring • Power Automate, Power Apps, and Power BI • HR portals, audit tools, supplier portals, and internal business applications • Microsoft 365 security, permissions, and governance • Azure, PowerShell automation, and server migrations AI as a Working Tool ───────────── I use Copilot and AI Builder inside the Microsoft stack, and Claude for document analysis, classification, and drafting. I build custom AI agents that plug into business processes, and I will tell you honestly where AI reduces effort versus where conventional automation is the more durable answer. How I Work ──────── I operate as a solutions architect, not just an implementer. Clients rarely arrive with every requirement defined, so part of my job is shaping the solution: advising on structure, security, scalability, governance, and adoption so the system works in the real world and stays maintainable after I hand it over. I run Analog365, a small U.S.-based Microsoft consultancy, so you get senior attention with a team behind it. I work with small business owners and organizations that need practical technology help, whether that is a single build, ongoing advisory, or help growing and scaling operations. Available for part-time and contract engagements. Happy to jump on a short call to talk through what you are working on.
