Audun M.
Azure/O365 Cloud Architect | Entra ID, SharePoint, Automation
Connect your systems, reduce manual work and modernise the platforms your business depends on. You get practical architecture and hands-on delivery, with security, testing and a handover your team can use. 🎯 A good fit if you… ✅ Lead a growing business whose systems and manual processes are holding it back. ✅ Manage an IT team that needs senior architecture support and someone who can help deliver the solution. ✅ Need Azure, Microsoft 365 or existing business applications to work together more effectively. ✅ Want clear technical decisions, realistic priorities and ownership across teams and suppliers. 🔍 Does this sound familiar? Your team enters the same information into several systems. Important workflows depend on spreadsheets, manual handoffs or one person who knows how everything works. Previous fixes have added complexity. Suppliers handle individual components, but nobody owns the connections between them. You know improvements are needed, yet changing systems the business relies on feels difficult. You need someone who can understand the whole picture, explain the options and turn the right decisions into working improvements. 🛠️ Clients typically hire me for • Cloud and Microsoft 365 architecture: assess existing environments, design the target platform and plan practical improvements across Azure, Microsoft 365 / Office 365, identity and collaboration. • Systems integration and automation: connect applications through APIs, PowerShell, N8N and workflow automation to reduce duplicate entry, repetitive administration and missed handoffs. • Migration and modernisation planning: identify dependencies, sequence changes, define acceptance checks and support controlled implementation. • Technical project leadership: coordinate technical work across teams and suppliers, clarify responsibilities and keep decisions connected to business priorities. • Architecture reviews and advisory: evaluate an existing setup, identify risks and give leadership a clear, prioritised path forward. • AI integration and modernisation: When to use AI, what models to use, how to securely implement agentic workflows, AI infrastructure and security design. ✅ What you get from working with me Less manual work: connected systems and workflows that remove unnecessary steps. Clearer decisions: understandable options, practical recommendations and an agreed scope. More dependable delivery: testing, visible failures and recovery considerations built into the work. Usable ownership: documentation, knowledge transfer and a handover that helps your team operate and maintain the solution. 🔐 Current Focus Areas - Secure AI Delivery Put AI to work within clear boundaries: appropriate data access, controlled development environments, human approval where needed, and testing before operational use. - Legacy Modernisation / Legacy Lift Understand what exists, retain what still works, connect disconnected components and modernise in manageable stages. - Modern Platform Design Design platforms for internal tools, connected business applications and AI-enabled workflows, with identity, integrations, deployment and operational ownership considered together. 🚫 We’re probably not the right fit if… You primarily need ongoing helpdesk support, or expect quick fixes, or essential testing, security and handover to be skipped. 👋 A little about me I bring 10+ years across IT platform architecture, operations and technical delivery. I combine architectural direction with hands-on implementation across Azure, Microsoft 365, identity, integration and automation. Send me your current setup, the main bottleneck and the outcome you want. We can start with a focused consultation or scope the first implementation when your requirements are already clear.
