Is your IT infrastructure holding your business back? I help small and mid-sized businesses and the MSPs that support them- build reliable, secure, and scalable IT environments that work. With 10+ years of hands-on experience as a Tier 3 MSP engineer, I've managed complex environments across dozens of clients: setting up and migrating to Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, designing bulletproof backup strategies, hardening endpoints, and keeping infrastructure humming, even when things go wrong. Here's where I can add immediate value: → MSP Support & Escalations: I step in as a senior resource when your team hits a wall. RMM tools (Datto, Syncro, Kaseya), PSA platforms (ConnectWise, Autotask), and complex escalations are my wheelhouse. → Backup & Disaster Recovery: I design and manage backup solutions using MSP360, Vembu, SolarWinds, and Datto Backupify, covering local, cloud, and Microsoft 365 environments so your data is always recoverable. → Cloud Migrations: Whether moving from on-prem to Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, I handle migrations cleanly, minimizing downtime and user disruption. → Infrastructure & Security: From SonicWall and Sophos firewalls to VMware/Hyper-V virtualization and endpoint protection (ESET, Bitdefender), I build environments that are both performant and secure. I'm detail-oriented, communicative, and know how to work independently; you won't need to hand-hold me if you need a senior IT professional who can hit the ground running. Let's talk!
