I help MSPs keep their service desk moving: tickets resolved and escalated properly, clients answered clearly, and the messy tribal knowledge turned into SOPs and documentation the whole team can actually use.
I have spent 10+ years inside MSP operations for US companies: helpdesk L2/L3, escalations, system administration (Microsoft 365, Active Directory, Windows Server, VMware), backup and BCDR, and the toolchain you already run: ConnectWise Manage, Control, and Automate, IT Glue, HaloPSA, NinjaOne, Datto, Meraki, SentinelOne, Proofpoint, Okta. On Upwork that adds up to 6,700+ verified hours and $70K+ earned across 17 jobs, including a 2,290-hour engagement where the client's parting words were that I had become the escalation point for their team. At my last long-term MSP role I was promoted to team lead within 3 months and ran a pod of 4 technicians. My recent MSP work has also continued as direct hires beyond the platform, most recently with a security-focused MSP.
Documentation and process work is where I have gone deepest recently. At a security-focused MSP, my role included writing SOPs, documenting processes, and working with management on standards and process improvement. I did this work well before AI existed. Today I also run AI-assisted workflows I built myself (for triage notes, documentation drafts, reporting, and repetitive admin), which means the same documentation cleanup gets done faster and more consistently. I run my own IT services business on these workflows every day, so this is working practice, not theory.
What I can take off your plate:
- L2/L3 technical support, ticket triage, escalation handling, client-facing updates
- SOP writing, process documentation, knowledge base cleanup (IT Glue and similar)
- Microsoft 365, Active Directory, endpoint, and backup administration
- Network troubleshooting: firewall, VPN, DNS, DHCP, connectivity
- AI-assisted documentation and reporting workflows inside your existing tools
Practical details MSPs usually ask about: I work US business hours comfortably (years of night-shift experience), and my home office is built for reliability: a high-spec desktop with three monitors plus a MacBook as a backup machine, two independent internet lines (fiber and Starlink), and UPS power backup.
If you need someone who can hold the line on tickets today and leave your documentation better than they found it, send me a message.

I fix infrastructure before it becomes a fire, and when it's already on fire, I'm the one you call.
I built and ran my own MSP for over a decade before moving into senior escalation and infrastructure leadership roles. I know what "get it done, don't just report on it" actually means, because I've sat in your seat.
What I bring:
- L3 escalation ownership on cloud, networking, and authentication incidents โ 95% SLA resolution rate at Arlo Technologies, plus a 20% cut in MTTR by rebuilding the RCA process around structured log correlation in Splunk.
- Network architecture end-to-end: OPNsense firewalls, VLAN segmentation, dual-WAN failover, Synology NAS โ designed and deployed from scratch, not just maintained on top of someone else's build.
- Security and compliance: patch management and hardening that cut exploitable vulnerabilities by 30% across 150+ client environments, plus current work leading ISO 27001 gap-closure and evaluating SOC 2 Type II, TISAX, NIS2, and BSI C5 feasibility.
- Tooling fluency: ConnectWise, Zendesk, Freshdesk, ServiceNow, Jira, Salesforce, Tactical RMM, Prometheus, Zabbix, Grafana, Datadog, PowerShell.
Why freelance instead of another full-time seat: I'd rather solve the problem directly than sit through the meetings about the meeting. You get direct senior-level attention, not a ticket triaged through three tiers before it reaches someone who actually knows what's wrong.
Based in the Philippines, comfortable across US, UK, and APAC hours. Night shift isn't a hardship for me โ it's a preference.
If you need someone who can own a migration, own an escalation, or own a compliance push without hand-holding, that's what I've built my career on. Let's talk about what's actually broken.
