    Hi, I’m Joe—an IT Generalist and systems thinker with over 15 years of experience as a knowledge worker. My core strength lies in problem solving and seeing the big picture. Over my career, I’ve managed 30+ end-to-end migration projects across networking, cloud, and infrastructure for clients in financial services, government, healthcare, and legal sectors. I’m a certified specialist in networking and security, and hold a degree in Computer Support. With a 95% ticket closure rate and deep experience in both common and complex IT challenges, I’m known for resolving issues quickly—without the need to escalate to vendor support. My expertise comes from nearly a decade at an MSP (Managed Service Provider)—including 7 years as a Projects Engineer. If you’re not familiar, MSPs provide outsourced IT services and solutions, delivering enterprise-level support to organizations of all sizes. As an MSP engineer, I was responsible for understanding and integrating all the critical elements of IT for our clients and internal teams, while also building out robust documentation and best practices. Core technical elements I’ve specialized in: - End-User Support & Help Desk: Rapid troubleshooting, remote and onsite, ticketing, and escalation management. - Network Infrastructure: Design, deployment, and maintenance of wired and wireless networks, VPNs, and WANs. - Security: Endpoint protection, firewall management, patching, vulnerability scanning, and compliance. - Cloud Services: Migration and management of platforms like Azure, AWS, and Microsoft 365. - Data Protection & Continuity: Backup solutions, disaster recovery, and business continuity planning. - Device Management: Lifecycle management of endpoints and mobile devices. - Project Management: Leading technology rollouts, upgrades, and complex migrations. - Knowledge Management: Creating SOPs, documentation, and client-facing knowledge bases. - Vendor Management: Liaising with ISPs, hardware/software providers, and handling warranties. - IT Strategy & Consulting: Assessments, roadmapping, and strategic recommendations. - User Training & Awareness: Security training and end-user onboarding. I’m passionate about delivering reliable, future-proof solutions that help organizations focus on their core mission—while staying secure, productive, and resilient.
