Hi, I’m Kevin. I help healthcare organizations and businesses fix their toughest IT issues — whether it's a SQL Server running slow, an Azure migration that needs cleanup, or automating repetitive tasks with PowerShell scripts. I've been doing this for over 25 years, 15 in healthcare, and still love diving into tricky problems and getting systems humming again. I can also work with the many uses of Python scripting to do just about anything. ETL as well.

I am an IT generalist and a Google Professional Cloud Architect, with an extensive background in information technology, including fifteen years of experience in systems, network, and security administration, along with a proven track record of successfully managing IT teams and projects. In my previous role as a manager and senior engineer at an MSP, I played a pivotal role in the company's remarkable growth from a $200,000 enterprise to a $2.2 million dollar company in just six years. During my tenure, I not only managed the day-to-day technical operations but also spearheaded critical initiatives such as relocating IT systems to colocation facilities and designing fully redundant networks, saving our largest clients tens of thousands of dollars in downtime-related losses. My ability to handle heavy workloads and multitask effectively allowed me to thrive in this dynamic environment. I also take pride in my strong communication skills, which enable me to bridge the gap between technical complexities and clear, personable interactions with both clients and team members. Additionally, I bring to the table a wealth of technical expertise, including proficiency in VMWare, network infrastructure, automation, scripting, cloud computing (AWS, GCP, Azure), and a deep understanding of security and compliance requirements(ITAR/NIST/DFARS), especially for government contracts. I have also led projects involving Kubernetes and have experience with IT policy generation, disaster recovery planning, and business continuity planning. Having owned and operated my own IT consulting company, I am no stranger to entrepreneurship and understand the importance of technical innovation and efficiency, as well as security and compliance. I have a strong commitment to staying up-to-date with the latest industry trends and technologies to ensure that I can provide the best solutions for my clients.

I'm a Tier 3 Security Engineer with over 20 years of IT experience, focused on helping organizations secure, automate, and optimize their Microsoft environments. My full-time role at a public university has evolved from systems administration into enterprise-level cloud security, compliance, and threat detection and now, I'm bringing that experience to clients. Here’s what I do best: Microsoft 365 Security & Compliance I configure DLP, CASB, Defender policies, Conditional Access, and Secure Score enforcement to harden Microsoft 365 tenants for real-world threats and compliance. PowerShell Automation I build custom scripts that reduce Tier 3 escalations, empower Help Desk staff, and streamline daily tasks. If it's repetitive, I can automate it. Azure Sentinel & KQL Threat Detection I write high-quality KQL queries, tune Sentinel rules, and build visual workbooks to help teams detect and respond to threats faster and smarter. Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) I help organizations translate policy into practice — aligning their IT operations with CIS benchmarks, Microsoft Secure Score, and Zero Trust principles. Whether you're a small business looking to secure your cloud or an MSP that needs smart automation behind the scenes, I’m here to help you work safer and more efficiently without the overhead. Let’s get your cloud locked down and your tasks cleaned up.
