I hold a Master of Science in Computer Science from the Illinois Institute of Technology and a Microsoft Certified Developer credential. Over 12+ years, I've partnered with reputable US-based clients to architect and deliver web and mobile applications, ecommerce platforms, backend systems, and AI-powered solutions that support real business operations across industries โ€” on time, on budget, and built to last. When mid-size and enterprise teams need a senior developer they can trust with complex, high-stakes projects โ€” they hire me. What I do best: - .NET, PHP Python full-stack development โ€” robust, secure, and enterprise-grade - Mobile app development (iOS & Android) from concept to launch - API design, development, and seamless third-party integrations - SQL Server & MySQL โ€” database architecture, optimization, and performance tuning - AI & machine learning integration โ€” intelligent features built into real products - Legacy system modernization, code audits, and architecture consulting - Full product lifecycle ownership: architecture โ†’ development โ†’ testing โ†’ deployment across Windows, Linux, and Mac environments Need more than one developer? I can provide a dedicated team of experienced developers and project managers for end-to-end delivery โ€” giving you agency-level capacity with senior-level oversight, accountability, and a single point of contact you can trust. Who I work with: Mid-size and enterprise teams who need a technically strong, communicative partner โ€” not someone they have to babysit. Whether you're scaling an existing platform, modernizing a legacy system, integrating AI into your product, or building something from the ground up, I bring the experience and leadership to move fast without cutting corners. Why clients keep coming back: I don't just write code โ€” I bring product thinking, technical leadership, and a genuine investment in your business goals. I ask the right questions upfront, communicate proactively, flag risks before they become expensive, and deliver consistently. My clients value long-term partnerships, not one-and-done transactions. Got a project in mind? Send me a message and I'll get back to you within a few hours.

โœ… I help organizations secure their Microsoft environments, meet compliance requirements, and protect the contracts that drive their business. Iโ€™m the founder of Davis Tech Pro, a Microsoft Cloud Security and compliance consultancy focused exclusively on the Microsoft ecosystem. I help organizations secure, prove, and maintain compliance in regulated environments. Iโ€™ve led CMMC Level 2 compliance engagements for defense contractors and currently oversee active clients progressing through early assessment phases. While certification is still in progress, both engagements are aligned with CMMC requirements and timelines. Iโ€™ve also hardened Microsoft 365 environments for healthcare organizations handling 50,000+ patient records, deployed Zero Trust architectures across 300+ endpoints, and implemented Microsoft Sentinel SIEM solutions that reduced incident response time by 70%. If your organization runs on Microsoft in a regulated environment, I help you secure it, prove it, and keep it that way. ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ CMMC & DoD Compliance (Level 1 & Level 2) For defense contractors, compliance directly impacts revenue and contract eligibility. I support contractors through full readiness, remediation, and audit preparation: โœ” CMMC Level 1 & 2 gap assessments โœ” NIST 800-171 aligned remediation planning โœ” SSP and POA&M development โœ” CUI handling and protection โœ” GCC High migrations and secure architecture โœ” Evidence preparation for C3PAO assessments Goal: help you pass assessments, reduce risk, and protect contracts. ๐Ÿฅ HIPAA Compliance in Microsoft 365 I configure Microsoft environments to meet HIPAA safeguards without disrupting operations: โœ” Microsoft Purview sensitivity labels and DLP โœ” Conditional Access and MFA via Entra ID โœ” Audit logging, retention, and eDiscovery โœ” Secure PHI handling across M365 โœ” Compliance documentation and audit support ๐Ÿ” Endpoint Security & Zero Trust I implement Zero Trust security using Microsoft tools: โœ” Intune (MDM/MAM) deployment and policies โœ” Defender for Endpoint onboarding and response โœ” Conditional Access and identity protection โœ” CIS/NIST-aligned endpoint baselines Every user, device, and access point is continuously verified. ๐Ÿ“Š Microsoft Sentinel (SIEM) & Threat Detection I build Sentinel environments for real-time visibility: โœ” Data connectors across systems โœ” Custom KQL detection rules and threat hunting โœ” Incident response automation (Logic Apps) โœ” Centralized monitoring and analytics โš™๏ธ Automation & AI Workflows I improve operations inside Microsoft environments: โœ” Power Automate workflows โœ” RPA for repetitive processes โœ” AI-driven workflows for operations and internal systems ๐ŸŒ SharePoint & Microsoft Web Solutions โœ” Power Pages portals for client/partner access โœ” SharePoint document management for compliance (CUI/PHI) โœ” SharePoint intranets with structured architecture and SPFx ๐ŸŽฏ Who I Work With โœ” Defense contractors (CMMC) โœ” Healthcare organizations (HIPAA) โœ” Financial and regulated industries โœ” Mid-market Microsoft 365 environments โœ” Teams needing a specialist, not a generalist ๐Ÿค How I Work โ€ข Clear scope and structured execution โ€ข Compliance aligned with real operations โ€ข Maintainable, long-term security systems โ€ข Direct communication and accountability I take on a limited number of clients to ensure high-quality delivery. ๐Ÿš€ Letโ€™s Secure Your Environment If you need help with CMMC, Microsoft security, Zero Trust, AI automation, or Microsoft-based web systems, I can help you move quickly and confidently. ๐Ÿ“ฉ Message me to discuss your environment and compliance goals.

I design and migrate mission-critical cloud infrastructure for organizations that need compliance, security, and reliability more than anything else. Most clients come to me for email migrations or Zero Trust architecture. All of them end up with infrastructure that becomes an organizational standard, not a one-off project. WHAT I DO - Cloud Security & Compliance Audits - Assess your infrastructure against CMMC, FedRAMP, HIPAA, or SOC 2 requirements. Identify gaps with clear remediation roadmap and timeline. - GCC High & FedRAMP Migrations - Design and execute zero-downtime migrations to federal cloud. I've reduced migration timelines by 67% (4 months โ†’ 6 weeks) using automated toolchains and repeatable processes. - Zero Trust Architecture Design & Implementation - Build identity-first security frameworks with Entra ID, Conditional Access, PIM, and passwordless MFA. Aligns to CMMC, FedRAMP, and federal security standards. - Large-Scale Infrastructure Architecture - Design landing zones, governance models, and cost optimization frameworks for 100+ subscriptions. I've owned $4B+ in infrastructure across global enterprise environments. HOW I WORK Phase 1: Discovery & Assessment (1 week) Audit current infrastructure, compliance posture, security gaps Deliver detailed assessment with prioritized recommendations Phase 2: Architecture & Planning (1-2 weeks) Design the target state (landing zones, governance, identity) Create implementation roadmap with milestones and timelines Get stakeholder alignment before building Phase 3: Implementation (2-8 weeks, depends on scope) Execute migrations or deployments using Infrastructure as Code Automated testing, compliance validation, zero-downtime cutover Documentation and team handoff Phase 4: Validation & Hardening (1 week) Security assessment post-deployment Runbook documentation for ongoing operations Knowledge transfer to your ops team RECENT RESULTS GCC High Migration for Healthcare Organization Challenge: 4-month timeline, no repeatable process, unfamiliar with federal requirements Approach: Designed end-to-end framework, automated policy deployment, built repeatable process Outcome: Reduced timeline to 6 weeks (67% faster). Framework became company standard. Client now qualifies for $50M+/year federal contracts. Large-Scale Infrastructure for Global Healthcare Network Challenge: $4B spend across 100+ subscriptions, ad-hoc setup, escalating costs Approach: Designed landing zones, governance models, automated onboarding Outcome: $200K+ annual savings. 99.99% uptime for patient-critical systems. Infrastructure scaled from weeks to days per new clinic. Zero Trust & Identity Architecture for Enterprise Challenge: Shadow IT, compromised accounts, slow access provisioning, no modern controls Approach: Conditional Access, Entra External ID, passwordless MFA, automated policies Outcome: Password attacks eliminated. External access now audited and time-limited. Access provisioning 3 days โ†’ 2 hours. WHEN I'M A GOOD FIT โœ“ Migrating to federal cloud (GCC High, SIPERNET, AWS GovCloud) โœ“ Need to achieve CMMC Level 1/2 or FedRAMP compliance โœ“ Building Zero Trust architecture and need expert guidance โœ“ Managing 50+ Azure subscriptions, need governance/cost optimization โœ“ Healthcare system, government contractor, or regulated financial firm WHEN I'M NOT โœ— Need a small changes to quick website or landing page โœ— Want M365 email/Teams setup without infrastructure strategy โœ— Need "just fix this fast" without proper architecture If any of this resonates, let's talk more. Share your infrastructure challenge, compliance requirement, or timeline and I'll send back a 2-3 slide assessment and next steps. No fluff, no BS. Just honest technical assessment.

If you need cloud infrastructure built, deployments automated, integrations shipped, or an environment locked down โ€” and you need it done properly, not just planned โ€” that's where I come in. 20 years of real engineering across AWS, Azure, and GCP. I've built things that are still running in production at NielsenIQ, Verizon, Seacoast Bank, and Data443. Not advisory work. Actual delivered infrastructure. What I build: Cloud Infrastructure and DevOps: - AWS and Azure infrastructure (VPCs, AKS, EKS, networking, IAM, hybrid connectivity, VPN gateways) - Infrastructure as Code: Terraform, Bicep, ARM templates โ€” from scratch or migration - CI/CD pipelines, GitHub Actions, containerized workloads (Docker, Kubernetes) - Serverless: Lambda, Azure Functions, API Gateway, event-driven architectures - Multi-cloud design, cost optimization, cloud migration Security and Compliance: - Microsoft Sentinel, SIEM buildouts, KQL detection rules, SOAR playbooks - Zero Trust architecture: Entra ID, Conditional Access, PIM, MFA enforcement - AWS Security Hub, GuardDuty, IAM hardening, compliance baselines - SOC2, HIPAA, NIST, CMMC โ€” implementation, not just gap analysis Integrations and Automation: - REST API integrations, custom connectors, middleware (Node.js, Python) - M365, Defender, Purview, Intune management and automation at scale - GCP services, multi-cloud patterns, SaaS integrations At NielsenIQ I saved $750K/year on security tooling and shipped two production Sentinel connectors now live in Microsoft's Content Hub. At Verizon and Seacoast Bank I designed Zero Trust architectures that are still running today. At Data443 I built AWS marketplace connectors that integrate with CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and Cyren threat intelligence pipelines serving 500+ clients. I work US hours, communicate clearly, and I actually show up. Tampa, FL. Certs: Azure Solutions Architect Expert, Azure Security Engineer, AWS SA Pro, AWS Security Specialty, MCSE+Security
