Tickets piling up and nobody finding the cause? I work at tier 2 and 3. A broken API call, a DNS record set wrong, a Microsoft 365 policy fighting itself, a payment that never synced. I find the root cause, fix it, then write it down so it stays fixed.
Ten years in IT across MSP, SaaS, and enterprise, most of it for US clients. Not script reading. Engineering depth behind every ticket.
WHAT I COVER
Support and debugging: app faults, API and webhook failures, access and subscription logic, payment and data gaps, browser and HTTP debugging
Microsoft 365 and Azure: Intune, Defender for Endpoint, Entra ID, Exchange, mail delivery (DMARC, SPF, DKIM), tenant moves
Infrastructure: Azure, VMware, physical server builds, networking, Cloudflare, DNS
Web and monitoring: WordPress builds and cleanup, Zabbix, PostHog
Security and compliance: ISO 27001, CMMC, PCI DSS, Microsoft security stack
Scripting: Python, JavaScript, shell, plus AI driven automation
Tools: HubSpot, Jira, Linear, GitHub, MySQL, Linux and SSH
CERTS
Azure Solutions Architect Expert. VMware VCP DCV and VCP NV. ISO 27001 Lead Auditor. CCNA and CCNP training.
WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE
Long support contract for a US SaaS firm, near full time, covering the app, the infra, and the customer side. The client called me reliable and said the quality never dropped.
Support specialist on a US contract, tier 2 and 3, day to day tickets plus project work.
Azure migration planned and run with downtime close to zero.
Two hacked Linux servers cleaned of a DDoS trojan, same day. That client came to me because I had fixed his last problem.
HOW I WORK
I cover US hours when the job needs it and I keep clients posted without being chased. You get a plain answer on what broke, what I did, and what I would change so it does not come back. Notes and handover docs come as standard.
START HERE
Tell me what is breaking. I will tell you how I would fix it and what it would take. No pitch.
