Project details
Struggling to get started with Azure or tired of misconfigured, insecure, and costly cloud environments?
Without a well-architected Azure foundation, your apps face performance bottlenecks, security gaps, and overspending slowing down your business growth.
I’m Muhammad Umair Akram, a Cloud Architect with 11+ years of experience building secure, scalable Azure environments.
I’ll deliver:
• Azure account setup, VMs, storage, and NSGs
• Identity and access control using RBAC and Entra ID
• Monitoring, alerting, and basic cost governance
• Advanced options: DR planning, compliance alignment, and cost optimization
Whether you’re launching apps, migrating workloads, or modernizing infrastructure, I ensure your Azure setup is secure, scalable, and built to Microsoft best practices.
Let’s build your Azure environment right from the start.

Working with Umair was a smooth and positive experience. He helped us set up Microsoft 365 with Intune, Entra ID, and Apple Business Manager for 100 users, and handled everything with confidence and clarity. He communicated well, delivered on time, and made the whole process easy for our team. The documentation was clear and helpful, and the final result was exactly what we needed. I’d gladly recommend him for any Microsoft cloud and security work.

About Muhammad Umair
Cloud & Security Architect | Azure | M365 | Entra ID | Intune | XDR
Dubai, United Arab Emirates - 3:24 am local time
150+ cloud and hybrid projects: AD migrations, M365 rollouts, workload migrations across Azure, AWS, and Oracle Cloud. 90,000+ users migrated across AD and M365. 15,000+ endpoints secured with Intune.
Most of my work is fixing what somebody else started, then expanding it into something that actually holds together.
WHERE CLIENTS CALL ME IN:
- AD forest and Exchange hybrid migrations stalling on public folders, shared mailboxes, or mail flow coexistence
- Tenant-to-tenant migrations stuck at 60% licensing, mail flow, and device cutover not sequenced
- Defender deployments generating 400 low-fidelity alerts daily instead of catching real threats
- Conditional Access rollouts that broke legacy apps and got rolled back
- Entra ID migrations where Hybrid Join looked healthy but SSO silently failed for 30% of users
- Azure AD Connect sync bleeding duplicate objects after a merger, nobody willing to touch the attribute flow
- AWS and Oracle Cloud alongside Microsoft infrastructure no unified identity, no security baseline, IAM policies nobody documented
RECENT ENGAGEMENTS:
- Hybrid identity and M365 E5 rollout for a 2,500-user fintech and banking group, UAE and KSA: AD forest cleanup, Entra ID Conditional Access, PIM, MFA, Defender XDR, Intune, Autopilot for Windows, Apple Business Manager for iOS and macOS corporate and BYOD separation, zero-touch provisioning, delivered against PCI-DSS, SAMA, and NCA ECC.
- HIPAA-aligned M365 + Intune + Defender rollout for a 1,200-user healthcare group:
Apple Business Manager, Autopilot, Conditional Access, MFA, SSO, DLP
- AD + Exchange hybrid to Exchange Online for a regional insurance group:
Mailbox cutover, public folder decommission, mail flow coexistence, SPF/DKIM/DMARC rebuild
- Tenant-to-tenant migration with Oracle Cloud integration for a 600-user UAE holding:
Entra ID, Intune, Defender, licensing reconciliation, zero-downtime cutover
- Zero Trust identity and GPO lifecycle framework for a SAMA-regulated bank:
Conditional Access, PIM, break-glass, policy decomposition, baseline rebuild, audit-ready docs
- Multi-tenant MSP security baseline across 5-10 client tenants:
Defender for Business, Intune templates, GDAP cleanup, partner center hygiene
- M365 Copilot readiness and Purview baseline for a Gulf enterprise:
Sensitivity labels, SharePoint access governance, DLP guardrails before tenant-wide enablement
CORE SERVICE AREAS:
- Active Directory and hybrid identity: forest consolidations, GPO rationalization, Azure AD Connect, Hybrid Join, PTA/PHS, ADFS decommission
- Exchange and messaging: on-prem to Exchange Online, tenant-to-tenant, public folder migration, mail flow coexistence, SPF/DKIM/DMARC
- Azure: CAF landing zones, hub-and-spoke networking, Azure Policy, ExpressRoute, VPN
- AWS: multi-account landing zones, IAM Identity Center, VPC, Security Hub, GuardDuty, Control Tower
- Oracle Cloud: OCI IAM, tenancy design, Identity Domains, Entra ID integration
- M365 security and compliance: Defender XDR, Purview DLP, insider risk, sensitivity
labels, eDiscovery GDPR, UAE PDPL, ADGM, VARA, HIPAA, ISO 27001, NIST CSF
- Entra ID: Conditional Access, PIM, MFA, passwordless, B2B/B2C
- Sentinel and SOAR: KQL analytics, Logic App playbooks, threat hunting, SOC runbooks (25+ builds)
- Intune: Autopilot, compliance policies, BYOD, Apple Business Manager, Android Enterprise
- Copilot and AI: M365 Copilot readiness, Security Copilot, Azure OpenAI deployment
- MSP: GDAP, Lighthouse, per-tenant baselines, cross-tenant reporting
HOW I RUN AN ENGAGEMENT:
One-week discovery first: posture scan, identity inventory, licensing audit, policy review. What looks like a CA rollout is usually a CA rollout plus three legacy apps that break, a missing break-glass process, and an Intune compliance gap nobody noticed.
Scoping honestly up front is the difference between clean delivery and halfway through
and stuck.
Environments span Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS, and Oracle Cloud, often in combination. Compliance delivered: PCI-DSS, SAMA, NCA ECC, HIPAA, ISO 27001, GDPR, SOC 2, NIST CSF, UAE PDPL.
