Microsoft 365, Azure & Intune = deployed, migrated, and secured. 17+ years. 62 jobs. 3,830 hours. 100% JSS. Top Rated. I help SMBs, MSPs, and IT directors migrate to Microsoft 365, lock down Entra ID, manage endpoints with Intune, and build resilient IT infrastructure — done right, documented, and handed over cleanly. WHO I WORK WITH IT directors, MSP owners, and business leaders who need a senior Microsoft specialist — not a ticket-logger, but someone who owns the architecture, makes the right decisions, and doesn't need hand-holding. CORE SERVICES Microsoft 365 Migration — Exchange on-prem, Google Workspace to M365, tenant-to-tenant, hybrid coexistence Entra ID & Hybrid Identity — Azure AD Connect, Conditional Access, MFA, RBAC, SSPR Microsoft Intune & Endpoints — MDM/MAM, AutoPilot, Windows 11, Defender for Endpoint, compliance policies Azure Infrastructure — VMs, networking, hybrid identity, Azure Backup, cost optimisation Security — Proofpoint, Microsoft Defender, Conditional Access, MFA, DKIM/DMARC/SPF Network & Firewall — Fortinet, Sophos, SonicWall, Ubiquiti/UniFi, Meraki, VPN Backup & DR — Veeam, Azure Backup, tested DR plans, RTO/RPO documentation WHAT CLIENTS SAY "Exceeded all expectations.

Discovery — Right questions asked about your environment before anything is touched 2. Plan — Written approach and timeline shared before project start 3. Execute — Work to plan, communicate at every stage, flag issues early 4. Document — Every configuration decision documented; you get admin guides and runbooks 5. Support — Post-project questions covered; I don't disappear at handover Message me with a brief description of your environment and goals — Exchange migration, M365 rollout, Intune setup, or full IT infrastructure review. I'll respond within a few hours with a concrete approach and proposed scope.
