When a backup fails, a server won't boot, or Microsoft 365 sign-ins break, I find the root cause and fix it properly. I'm a Microsoft-certified Azure, Microsoft 365 and Windows Server engineer for small and mid-sized businesses. I have 4+ years of hands-on experience in hybrid environments. I've worked with small and mid-sized businesses, including healthcare-related IT, where downtime and data protection carry real consequences. What I like most is taking an environment held together by quick fixes and making it predictable: patched, monitored, backed up, documented, and properly secured. I care more about preventing the outage than being the hero who fixes it at 2 a.m. HOW I HELP • Setting up or cleaning up Azure environments, from VMs and networking to storage and monitoring • Securing identity across on-prem Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID, including sync and sign-in issues • Setting up, migrating, and hardening Microsoft 365 tenants • Building backup and disaster recovery plans that are restore-tested, not just configured • Providing ongoing remote administration for teams without a full-time sysadmin CORE EXPERTISE Azure: Virtual Machines, VNets, NSGs, Load Balancers, Azure Firewall, Storage Accounts, Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) with FSLogix, Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Application Insights Identity & Security: Entra ID (Azure AD), RBAC, Conditional Access, MFA, Microsoft Defender, hybrid identity Microsoft 365: tenant administration, Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, licensing, migrations, Defender for Office 365 Windows Server (2016–2025): Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, Group Policy, patch management Virtualization: Hyper-V, VMware, SCVMM Backup & DR: Veeam, Acronis, Azure Backup, Azure Site Recovery, 3-2-1 strategy Also: SAN/NAS, RAID, VPN, DrayTek, infrastructure monitoring HOW I WORK • I take ownership. If I find a second problem while fixing the first, I tell you rather than ignore it. • I monitor, not just react. Alerts and health checks catch issues before your users do. • Security comes first. MFA, least-privilege access, and patching are the starting point, not extras. • I document what I build, so you're never dependent on me to understand your own environment. • I communicate plainly. You get clear updates and no jargon walls. • I fix root causes, so the same ticket doesn't come back next month.
