I've been working in Microsoft endpoint management for over 7 years, and Intune is what I know best. I've built MDM and MAM environments from scratch, helped MSPs get their device management under control, and cleaned up more than a few messy Intune deployments along the way.
What I actually do day to day:
• Intune and Endpoint Manager: device enrollment for BYOD and corporate devices, compliance policies, configuration profiles, app deployment, and full Autopilot rollouts
• Entra ID: Conditional Access, hybrid join, MFA, SSPR, and Privileged Identity Management
• Microsoft Defender for Endpoint: onboarding, threat policies, attack surface reduction, endpoint detection
• Microsoft 365 security: DLP, Purview, sensitivity labels, Defender for Office 365
• PowerShell automation: bulk enrollment, compliance reporting, user provisioning, policy backup and restore
• Apple and Android MDM: Apple Business Manager, DEP, supervised mode, Android Enterprise
• Cloud migrations: mailbox migrations, SharePoint and OneDrive setup, Teams adoption
I've worked with clients in healthcare, finance, legal, and SMB sectors across the US, UK, Saudi Arabia, and Australia. Whether it's setting up Intune for a 50 person company from scratch or fixing a broken Autopilot profile at 2am for an MSP client, I get it done.
If you need someone who knows the difference between a device configuration profile and a security baseline without googling it mid call, let's talk.
I'm mostly focused on long term contracts and retainer work right now, so feel free to reach out directly or send an interview invite. I typically respond within a few hours.
