I'm a Microsoft 365 and Azure administrator with 5 years of IT experience managing identity, endpoint, and collaboration systems for organizations of varying sizes. What I help with: Microsoft 365 admin: Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint setup, migrations, and troubleshooting Azure AD / Entra ID: user/group management, conditional access, hybrid identity, SSO Microsoft Intune & Windows Autopilot: device enrollment, compliance policies, app deployment, zero-touch provisioning Active Directory & Windows Server: domain management, GPOs, on-prem to cloud sync ServiceNow: ticket workflows and admin support I'm currently deepening my security specialization (working toward SC-200, SC-300, MS-102, AZ-104), so I can also help with baseline security hardening, conditional access policies, and identity protection setups. I work efficiently, document everything I do, and communicate clearly and promptly — you won't have to chase me for updates. Happy to start with a smaller task so we can build trust before a larger engagement.
