As a Cloud Solutions Architect / Security Engineer, I use over ten years of expertise in Microsoft Cloud Services, with a focus on consulting, planning, implementation, and training. I facilitated secure and efficient cloud transformations through Microsoft Workshops on Microsoft Threat Protection, Modern SecOps, Zero Trust, and Data Security using tools like Microsoft Defender, Intune, Entra ID, Microsoft Sentinel, and Microsoft Purview. Collaborative efforts also include seamless migrations, planning and designing solutions for identify and access management, Microsoft Threat Protection, and data governance. Implementation projects included hybrid deployments, MDM management and other Infrastructure management ensuring a comprehensive approach to customer-centric solutions. Prior work at Advisicon emphasized Microsoft 365 enterprise solutions, including Azure Network Administration, Azure Virtual Desktop, and SharePoint Server implementations. These experiences cultivated a deep understanding of identity and access management, compliance, endpoint management and endpoint security, aligning with a mission to enable organizations to enhance productivity and secure their digital environments. My deep understanding of identity governance, Microsoft Threat Protection, and hybrid deployments allows me to tailor solutions that respond to both regulatory demands and the practical needs of enterprise IT.
