Core expertise: - Microsoft 365 migrations & hybrid Exchange - Active Directory & Windows Server administration - AWS cost optimization & infrastructure reliability - PowerShell automation & process optimization - Disaster recovery & business continuity Clients typically bring me in when: → Migration projects have stalled or lack expertise → Active Directory or mail infrastructure becomes unstable → Production environments lack documentation or monitoring → Infrastructure costs are growing unexpectedly → Internal teams cannot safely troubleshoot production systems Recent project outcomes: → Migrated 500+ users from Exchange 2016 to Microsoft 365 with zero email downtime during 72-hour cutover → Reduced AWS infrastructure costs by 30% ($47K annually) through EC2 rightsizing and Reserved Instance strategy → Restored multi-site Active Directory replication affecting 450+ users across 3 locations within 8 hours → Recovered a non-booting domain controller with SYSVOL/DFSR failures in 6 hours, preventing an authentication outage → Automated user onboarding workflows, reducing provisioning time from 2 hours to 10 minutes Microsoft 365 & Exchange - Exchange Online & hybrid Exchange migrations - Tenant-to-tenant migrations - Hybrid identity (Entra ID / Azure AD) - SharePoint & Teams administration - SPF / DKIM / DMARC configuration - Intune device management & endpoint compliance policies - MFA enforcement, Conditional Access, and Microsoft 365 governance - Exchange sync troubleshooting & mailbox recovery Active Directory & Windows Infrastructure - Domain controller recovery & SYSVOL/DFSR replication repair - Multi-site domain controller deployments - Group Policy management & troubleshooting - FSMO role management & transfer - Hybrid AD environments (on-premises + Entra ID) - Windows Server 2012 R2 through 2022 administration AWS & Cloud Infrastructure - Cost optimization & infrastructure analysis (40-60% average reduction) - EC2 rightsizing & Reserved Instance strategy - RDS performance tuning & elastic pool optimization - CloudWatch monitoring & proactive alerting - VPC design & auto-scaling configuration Infrastructure Reliability & Operations - Disaster recovery planning & backup validation - Production change management & operational handoff - 24/7 emergency support for production infrastructure incidents - Flexible timezone coverage (US, UK, Australian business hours) Additional experience includes VMware vSphere, Hyper-V, Fortinet/pfSense networking, Veeam/Commvault backup solutions, and enterprise ITSM platforms including ServiceNow and JIRA. Certifications: → AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate → Microsoft 365 Certified: Fundamentals (2024) → MCSA: Windows Server 2016 → Fortinet NSE 1 & NSE 2 Network Security Clients value reliability, communication, and operational accountability just as much as technical execution. If you need an experienced infrastructure engineer to stabilize, migrate, optimize, or maintain production systems, send me: → Current infrastructure overview (platform, user count, pain points) → Project goals and timeline → Any existing documentation or error logs I respond within 24 hours with a project assessment and approach.
