Summary
Hands-on Microsoft-stack technologist with thirty years of progressive IT depth, currently focused on sole-IT-function operational ownership for small, sensitive-data professional services environments. Practitioner-level fluency in Microsoft Azure, Entra ID, Microsoft 365, SharePoint, and Intune; demonstrated ability to author policy, run L2/L3 escalations, coordinate outside vendors and security partners, and lead the end-to-end system lifecycle. Lived ransomware incident-response experience (SonicWall router exploit, on-site recovery and re-architecture). Polished consultant communicator who translates technical decisions into clear business outcomes for senior leadership and clients. Depth-of-scope chosen deliberately for one-person IT functions where breadth is risk-reduction, not register.
