I help UK, EU and US businesses harden Microsoft 365 and cloud environments against real-world threats, and architect the Azure/AWS infrastructure underneath it — backed by 18 completed projects, 5,200+ hours and a 100% Job Success score. What I do: - Microsoft 365 & cloud security — Intune/Entra ID, conditional access, attack surface reduction rules, device compliance, zero-trust hardening - Cloud architecture — Azure/AWS environments designed for security and resilience, not just cost - Network & infrastructure — Meraki, VPN/firewall, Active Directory, Hyper-V, Teams Phone/VoIP - Ongoing protection — monitoring, patching, incident response, and documentation that holds up to an audit I'm fully insured ($3M public liability) and typically respond within hours. If something in your M365 tenant or cloud setup doesn't look right — or you just want a second pair of eyes before it becomes a problem — that's exactly the kind of call I want. Tell me what's going on and I'll tell you exactly how I'd approach it.

With over 18 years of comprehensive enterprise IT experience, I am a Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) and certified Solutions Architect specializing in Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365.

Enterprise cloud migrations fail for three reasons: downtime, security gaps, and cost overruns. I eliminate all three. I'm Seema — an Azure Cloud Architect with 10+ years specializing in complex on-premises to Azure migrations, enterprise endpoint modernization, and Microsoft 365 security transformation. I've successfully migrated 50+ organizations across healthcare, finance, and technology — delivering 99.9% uptime during high-risk cutovers and reducing infrastructure costs by up to 30%. What makes my approach different: I approach every migration with both an architect's eye for risk and a CFO's eye for cost. You get a delivery partner who can justify the investment to your finance team and execute it without surprises. What I deliver: 1. Azure Migration & Architecture Complex on-prem → Azure migrations with zero-downtime planning, secure landing zones aligned to enterprise standards, hybrid identity design, and measurable cost optimization from day one. 2. Endpoint Modernization (Intune & SCCM) Full transition from legacy device management to modern cloud-native control — Windows Autopilot, zero-touch provisioning, security baselines, compliance policies, and automated patch cycles reduced from weeks to hours. 3. Microsoft 365 & Zero Trust Security Azure AD / Entra ID architecture, Conditional Access policies, Zero Trust implementation, and secure M365 migrations covering Exchange, SharePoint, and OneDrive. 4. Infrastructure Automation PowerShell-driven automation, Infrastructure as Code (DSC), and CI/CD pipelines for repeatable, auditable deployments. Before we start any major project, I offer a structured pre-migration assessment — reviewing your current infrastructure, identifying security gaps, and delivering a clear migration or modernization plan. This protects you from costly surprises mid-project. I also offer paid strategic consultation sessions for organizations that need expert input before committing to a full engagement. If you're planning a cloud migration, infrastructure upgrade, or security modernization — share your current setup and I'll outline the right approach before we begin.

Microsoft 365 and Intune engineer managing 12,000 endpoints for a UK Financial Services group. Outside that role, I take on selected Microsoft 365, Autopilot, Entra ID, and Azure projects. Before this role, I spent three years inside an MSP, where a new tenant landed on my desk every few weeks. That kind of volume teaches you things a single-tenant job never will: which Intune configurations actually hold up across different industries, where Autopilot quietly breaks in the field, and how to run a tenant migration without the 2 am rollback call. I’ve delivered across the UK, Australia, USA, Canada, South Africa, and a handful of smaller markets. What I specialise in Modern Device Management: Intune (MDM/MAM), Windows Autopilot, compliance baselines, app packaging, Endpoint Privilege Management, endpoint analytics Identity & Security: Entra ID, Conditional Access, MFA rollouts, Defender for Endpoint, Zero Trust design, Intune security baselines aligned to CIS and OpenIntuneBaseline (OIB) Migrations: tenant-to-tenant, Google Workspace ↔ Microsoft 365, hybrid Exchange, SharePoint Online Automation: PowerShell, Microsoft Graph, Azure Functions, CI/CD for configuration and policy. Recent builds include a serverless patch-health dashboard across a 12k Intune estate and an automated winget-based app packager. A few results worth mentioning Deployed 3,000+ Windows endpoints via Intune and Autopilot, cutting provisioning from four hours per device to under 45 minutes Wrote a PowerShell pipeline that migrated 10,500+ contract attachments from BMC into Freshservice during a CMDB cutover. The previous round of the same work had taken two engineers six months of manual download and re-upload; the script handled it in a day Built a serverless patch-health pipeline (Azure Functions, Blob Storage) that surfaces non-compliant endpoints across a 12k Intune estate in near real time, at zero ongoing infra cost Automated winget-based app packaging, replacing the manual repackaging cycle that used to consume hours of EUC time per app refresh Delivered cutover migrations in both directions between Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, including a 500-mailbox cutover from M365/GoDaddy with users back in their inbox the same morning Hardened Intune security baselines against CIS and OpenIntuneBaseline (OIB) controls for regulated tenants, with mappings retained for audit Clients tell me I communicate clearly, own the outcome from kickoff to handover, and don’t disappear when something unexpected comes up mid-rollout. If you’re planning a rollout, a migration, or a cleanup of a tenant that’s gotten away from you, send a brief. I’ll tell you honestly whether I’m the right fit. I’d rather turn down a job than take one that won’t go well.
