I design and migrate mission-critical cloud infrastructure for organizations that need compliance, security, and reliability more than anything else. Most clients come to me for email migrations or Zero Trust architecture. All of them end up with infrastructure that becomes an organizational standard, not a one-off project. WHAT I DO - Cloud Security & Compliance Audits - Assess your infrastructure against CMMC, FedRAMP, HIPAA, or SOC 2 requirements. Identify gaps with clear remediation roadmap and timeline. - GCC High & FedRAMP Migrations - Design and execute zero-downtime migrations to federal cloud. I've reduced migration timelines by 67% (4 months → 6 weeks) using automated toolchains and repeatable processes. - Zero Trust Architecture Design & Implementation - Build identity-first security frameworks with Entra ID, Conditional Access, PIM, and passwordless MFA. Aligns to CMMC, FedRAMP, and federal security standards. - Large-Scale Infrastructure Architecture - Design landing zones, governance models, and cost optimization frameworks for 100+ subscriptions. I've owned $4B+ in infrastructure across global enterprise environments. HOW I WORK Phase 1: Discovery & Assessment (1 week) Audit current infrastructure, compliance posture, security gaps Deliver detailed assessment with prioritized recommendations Phase 2: Architecture & Planning (1-2 weeks) Design the target state (landing zones, governance, identity) Create implementation roadmap with milestones and timelines Get stakeholder alignment before building Phase 3: Implementation (2-8 weeks, depends on scope) Execute migrations or deployments using Infrastructure as Code Automated testing, compliance validation, zero-downtime cutover Documentation and team handoff Phase 4: Validation & Hardening (1 week) Security assessment post-deployment Runbook documentation for ongoing operations Knowledge transfer to your ops team RECENT RESULTS GCC High Migration for Healthcare Organization Challenge: 4-month timeline, no repeatable process, unfamiliar with federal requirements Approach: Designed end-to-end framework, automated policy deployment, built repeatable process Outcome: Reduced timeline to 6 weeks (67% faster). Framework became company standard. Client now qualifies for $50M+/year federal contracts. Large-Scale Infrastructure for Global Healthcare Network Challenge: $4B spend across 100+ subscriptions, ad-hoc setup, escalating costs Approach: Designed landing zones, governance models, automated onboarding Outcome: $200K+ annual savings. 99.99% uptime for patient-critical systems. Infrastructure scaled from weeks to days per new clinic. Zero Trust & Identity Architecture for Enterprise Challenge: Shadow IT, compromised accounts, slow access provisioning, no modern controls Approach: Conditional Access, Entra External ID, passwordless MFA, automated policies Outcome: Password attacks eliminated. External access now audited and time-limited. Access provisioning 3 days → 2 hours. WHEN I'M A GOOD FIT ✓ Migrating to federal cloud (GCC High, SIPERNET, AWS GovCloud) ✓ Need to achieve CMMC Level 1/2 or FedRAMP compliance ✓ Building Zero Trust architecture and need expert guidance ✓ Managing 50+ Azure subscriptions, need governance/cost optimization ✓ Healthcare system, government contractor, or regulated financial firm WHEN I'M NOT ✗ Need a small changes to quick website or landing page ✗ Want M365 email/Teams setup without infrastructure strategy ✗ Need "just fix this fast" without proper architecture If any of this resonates, let's talk more. Share your infrastructure challenge, compliance requirement, or timeline and I'll send back a 2-3 slide assessment and next steps. No fluff, no BS. Just honest technical assessment.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Mark did a phenomenal job improving the performance of our SQL Servers. I can't recommend him enough." I make SQL Servers faster and more reliable. 🚀 Do you need help with your SQL Server? On days that I am not Tuning SQL Performance, I do SQL Server Consulting and projects such as: SQL migrations, complex upgrades, data warehousing, reporting, SSIS, load testing, ETL, TSQL development, automation using PowerShell, Snowflake, AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud GCP, etc. I CAN HELP YOU WITH: 🔸SQL Server Consulting 🔸SQL Server performance tuning and slow sql 🔸Complex SQL Server migrations to the AWS, Azure or GCP cloud 🔸Database Server Audits and SQL Server Health Checks Few others: - Microsoft SQL Server Performance Tuning: index tuning, T-SQL and stored procedure tuning - Remote MS SQL Server DBA Services - Performance load testing - Complex SQL Server Upgrades - Automation (PowerShell and other methods) - New SQL Server setups (if you clicked 20 times Next, Next, Next, during your SQL install - you got db problems!) - Moving to and from the cloud (Microsoft Azure and Amazon AWS EC2 - act little different than on-premise servers. It's NOT one to one match!) - Automated maintenance plans (think of it as oil changes on your car, except they can be automated) - Automated backups (full, differential, transactional, filegroup, file), statistics maintenance, index maintenance, corruption checks - Data Warehousing, SSIS, SSRS Today SQL depends on a ton of surrounding technologies such as - Active Directory - Group Policy - Windows settings - PowerShell - SAN/storage configuration - Virtualization - Networking - Clustering - and if you are in the cloud, then add more items to the list. You want someone that gets them all. I am Enterprise SQL Server Database Administrator, Architect, and Consultant with 20 years of experience with a variety of very complex highly transactional and Data Warehousing environments. With proven track record in performance tuning, architecture, clustering, administration, high-availability, disaster recovery, complex upgrades, monitoring, development, mirroring, log shipping, replication, hardware selection, capacity planning and security. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Mark is a true SQL Server and Snowflake guru. He led SQL Server migration to the AWS cloud. Later he helped us with getting data synched from SQL Server to the Snowflake.com. He works fast and is happy to work with you to explain all the different nuances. Thank you for your help. We continue to use him for various database and data warehousing projects."
