Small businesses don't have time for IT problems — and they shouldn't have to. I help small business owners offload the complexity of their IT infrastructure so they can focus on running their business, not troubleshooting it. With over 10 years of hands-on experience, I provide end-to-end IT support across cloud, networking, and systems administration — from a single urgent fix to ongoing managed support. Cloud Migration & M365 Administration I handle complete Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 migrations (and vice versa) — mailboxes, calendars, contacts, and shared drives — with zero data loss and minimal disruption to your team. Post-migration, I can stay on to manage your M365 tenant, user accounts, licensing, and security policies so everything keeps running smoothly. Network Setup & Security I design and deploy reliable business networks using UniFi, configure secure remote access via WireGuard/Headscale VPN, and set up enterprise Wi-Fi — built to handle real workloads without dropping out. Whether you're moving offices or setting up from scratch, I get it done right the first time. Cloud Infrastructure (Azure / AWS) From provisioning virtual machines and managing cloud storage to configuring networking and databases, I keep your cloud environment lean, secure, and cost-efficient. I've deployed and maintained infrastructure for businesses across manufacturing, real estate, and professional services. IT Support & Helpdesk I provide dependable remote and onsite support across Windows, macOS, and Linux — using RMM tools and ticketing systems like Freshdesk to resolve issues fast and keep your team productive. Think of me as your on-call IT department without the overhead of a full-time hire. Credentials & Background Google IT Support Professional Certificate | Diploma in Information Technology Fluent in English, Hindi, Gujarati, and Swahili — great for diverse or globally distributed teams. Based in Calgary, MST — available for both one-time projects and long-term contracts. If your business needs reliable IT that just works, let's connect.

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. 🔹 MICROSOFT 365 & AZURE • Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive • Azure and Entra ID / Azure AD administration • MFA, Conditional Access, and identity management • Mail flow, authentication, and access troubleshooting • Microsoft 365 security and tenant administration 🔹 INTUNE & ENDPOINT MANAGEMENT • Device enrollment and configuration • 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 • Alert investigation, tuning, and escalation workflows • Proactive endpoint and server health monitoring • ConnectWise ticket workflows and documentation • SLA-driven technical support across multi-client environments 🔹 WINDOWS SERVER & INFRASTRUCTURE • Active Directory and Group Policy • DNS, DHCP, and file server administration • Windows Server troubleshooting and maintenance • Remote Desktop Services • Azure Virtual Desktop and FSLogix troubleshooting • Server performance and infrastructure remediation 🔹 SECURITY & ENDPOINT PROTECTION • CrowdStrike deployment and remediation • Huntress monitoring and response support • Conditional Access and identity security • Endpoint hardening • Vulnerability and patch remediation • Security incident investigation support 🔹 VIRTUALIZATION, BACKUP & NETWORKING • VMware ESXi administration and troubleshooting • Virtual machine deployment and maintenance • Backup monitoring and recovery support • FortiGate firewall administration and troubleshooting • Infrastructure health checks and remediation 🔹 POWERSHELL & AUTOMATION • Automated remediation scripts • Microsoft 365 administration automation • 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.
