I’m the person you call when your systems need to stay up and issues need to get handled without slowing down your operations. I provide Tier 1 IT support across Windows systems, POS environments, hardware, and user access, backed by years of customer-facing technical support.
I’ve worked in environments where things can’t break. At FedEx and Amazon, I supported device-heavy workflows where downtime impacts operations immediately. At Capital One and Wells Fargo, I worked in regulated environments where accuracy, compliance, and clear processes matter.
Now I support businesses remotely in live environments, handling login and access issues, supporting POS systems, resolving hardware problems, and working through tickets in platforms like NinjaOne, Zendesk, Freshdesk, HelpScout, Intercom, and Front.
Core Strengths
• Tier 1 IT support for users and retail environments
• Troubleshooting Windows systems, POS applications, and user access
• Hardware and peripheral support (printers, scanners, devices)
• Clear documentation and structured ticket handling
• Remote troubleshooting with step-by-step user guidance
• Maintaining system functionality without disrupting operations
I’m not here to just reset passwords. I’m here to keep your systems running, your users supported, and your day-to-day operations moving.

The Two-Second Version:
Senior Microsoft cloud infrastructure engineer with 25+ years of experience and $100K+ earned on Upwork. I design, secure, and automate Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Azure, and Intune environments for organizations with 1,000+ users — reducing manual admin work and closing security gaps for MSPs and growing businesses. Available for async engagements and ongoing retainer support.
The Long Version:
I'm a senior IT infrastructure engineer with 25+ years of experience and a track record of $100K+ in completed Upwork engagements, specializing in Microsoft 365 administration, Entra ID and Azure governance, Intune device management, and endpoint security.
I help businesses and MSPs modernize and secure their Microsoft cloud environments — from tenant hardening and Conditional Access policy design to Intune/Autopilot rollouts and Microsoft Purview deployment. I've managed and supported environments exceeding 1,000 users, led mail and tenant migrations across Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, and built PowerShell and Power Automate workflows that eliminate repetitive administrative work at scale.
On the security side, I hold CompTIA Security+ and have hands-on experience with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, CrowdStrike, QRadar and Stellar SIEM, and Microsoft Purview — supporting CMMC and HIPAA-adjacent compliance requirements.
I work well async: clear documentation, proactive status updates, and fast turnaround (typical response time under 4 hours). Whether you need a single complex migration handled end-to-end or ongoing M365/Azure administration support as an extension of your team, I bring enterprise-grade rigor without enterprise-grade overhead.
Core specialties: Microsoft 365 tenant administration and hardening, Entra ID (Azure AD) and Conditional Access, Intune/Autopilot/MDM device management, Exchange Online and SharePoint Online administration, PowerShell and PnP PowerShell automation, Power Automate and n8n workflow design, Windows Server and Active Directory, endpoint security and SIEM administration.

I build simple, working MVPs fast.
Clients come to me when they need more than an idea but don’t want to waste months on bloated builds. I use modern tools like Next.js, Supabase, Vercel, and AI coding assistants (Cursor, ChatGPT) to turn concepts into functioning prototypes in days, not months.
My background: years of experience creating automation, dashboards, and custom workflows in Google Sheets and Apps Script. That taught me how to move quickly, simplify problems, and deliver value without unnecessary complexity. Now I apply the same philosophy to MVP web apps, SaaS prototypes, and automation systems.
What I can deliver:
Secure user authentication & role-based access
CRUD apps with modern design (Next.js, Supabase)
Lightweight dashboards & analytics
Automation integrations (Google Sheets, APIs, workflows)
AI-powered features (chat agents, content generation, planning tools)
Why hire me:
Fast turnaround, I specialize in lean, testable MVPs
Clear documentation so you can iterate or hand off easily
Experience across both no-code automation and modern dev stacks
If you need a working MVP to test with users, validate your idea, or pitch to investors. I’ll get you there without wasting time or fluff.
Tell us what you need. Create your own job post or generate one with AI then filter talent matches.
Hire top talent fast
Consult, interview, and hire quickly, so you can meet the freelancers you're excited about.
Collaborate easily
Use Upwork to chat or video call, share files, and track project progress right from the app.
Payment simplified

Don't just take our word for it
“Upwork provides an umbrella-level of security. I can see a talent’s work history and ratings. I can hold payments in escrow. I can communicate through Upwork Messages instead of working through my email address.”
