Hello/Bonjour/Hola!
I’m Maddisson, a Canadian Freelance International Affairs Analyst with expertise in research, policy analysis, and strategic communications across complex geopolitical landscapes. Supporting clients through policy analysis, article/content writing, data analysis/visualisation, and other multimedia deliverables, developing and disseminating complexities into actionable, tangible insights.
My work spans political participation, international law, human rights, migration, governance, security and defence, gender, and accountability. I specialise in conflict and crisis analysis, global power dynamics, cybersecurity, and policy evaluation, with projects including the opioid crisis in Canada, security developments across the Americas, Eastern Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, and migration flows such as the Darien Gap (Panama border) for Nicaraguan migrants, MENA and Eastern European routes, and arrivals to Lampedusa, Italy, alongside North American migration policies.
I have produced multimedia content and strategic communications for governments, NGOs, think tanks, and private clients worldwide. I have supported the United Nations as a UN Volunteer (WFP), Communications Intern at the International Peace Institute, and Rule of Law/Communications Intern at ORLOSI, contributing to research, reporting, and stakeholder engagement. I am also an active tutor in political science and a dedicated volunteer with UPeace MUN, UNGA 77, the Uyghurs Under Threat Conference, NWSC, YMCA, SPCA, and other local and international initiatives.

Regulatory environments don’t exist in isolation — neither should your compliance architecture.
I help organizations navigate overlapping legal systems and AI-driven operational models through comparative regulatory analysis and structured risk mapping.
The Comparative Advantage
As a jurist with a Master’s in International & European Law, my expertise is defined by method, not by one statute. I analyze how regulatory frameworks intersect, where obligations converge or conflict, and how those tensions translate into operational exposure.
My methodology converts legal complexity into structured risk matrices designed for:
• Multi-Market Operations: Aligning compliance across jurisdictions while reducing redundancy and regulatory friction.
• AI & Digital Innovation: Identifying exposure in AI-driven systems, data workflows, and copyright-sensitive environments.
• Structural Risk Audits: Conducting large-scale gap analyses to detect systemic vulnerabilities before they escalate.
Precision & Execution
Strategic analysis must translate into operational clarity. I ensure compliance is reflected in every layer of documentation and implementation:
• Cross-border contract review and DPA structuring
• Policy drafting and decision-ready regulatory briefs
• Technical legal proofreading in bilingual (English/French) regulatory environments
• AI data integrity verification supporting legally sensitive workflows
Selected Impact
• Audited 200+ digital applications using a replicable comparative compliance framework
• Delivered cross-border DPA harmonization and regulatory gap assessments
• Designed end-to-end compliance modernization frameworks for digital communications and AI-enabled operations
I don’t deliver abstract legal commentary — I provide structured regulatory roadmaps that decision-makers can act on with confidence.

I help MSPs and growing businesses manage Microsoft 365, Azure, Intune, RMM, and Windows infrastructure — from complex troubleshooting and technical escalations to endpoint management, security hardening, and PowerShell automation.
With hands-on experience supporting 1,200+ endpoints across fast-paced, multi-client environments, I take ownership of technical issues from investigation through resolution while keeping communication clear and documentation accurate.
My work spans Microsoft cloud, endpoint management, Windows infrastructure, virtualization, security, and RMM operations. I’m particularly effective when issues cross multiple technology layers and require more than a quick fix.

• Compliance policies and security baselines
• Application deployment and remediation
• BitLocker management
• Windows troubleshooting and endpoint hardening
🔹 RMM, MONITORING & MSP OPERATIONS
• N-able N-central monitoring, patching, and remediation
• RMM policy management and endpoint administration

🔹 POWERSHELL & AUTOMATION
• Automated remediation scripts

• RMM-based scripting and self-healing workflows
• Endpoint maintenance automation
• Custom reporting and health checks
• Automation of repetitive operational tasks
WHY CLIENTS WORK WITH ME
• Take ownership of technical issues from investigation through resolution
• Troubleshoot across cloud, endpoint, server, virtualization, and network layers
• Focus on root-cause analysis rather than temporary fixes
• Communicate professionally with end users, stakeholders, and technical teams
• Maintain clear, audit-ready documentation
• Identify recurring issues and automate remediation where possible
• Work effectively across fast-paced, multi-client environments
For MSPs, I understand the realities of managed services: multiple client environments, competing priorities, SLA pressure, noisy RMM alerts, escalations, documentation requirements, and after-hours maintenance.
For growing businesses, I provide reliable hands-on administration and troubleshooting across Microsoft cloud, endpoints, servers, security, and infrastructure.
If you need an engineer who can take ownership of Microsoft cloud, infrastructure, RMM, endpoint, or automation work, I’d be happy to discuss your environment.
