Infrastructure and Security Specialist with 10+ years of hands-on experience designing, securing, and optimizing enterprise IT environments. I specialize in Microsoft ecosystems, combining deep expertise in Azure, Microsoft 365, and Power Platform to build scalable, secure, and automated solutions that drive real business value. My background spans cloud security, identity and access management, and network infrastructure, including SD-WAN deployments, Conditional Access policy design, and endpoint protection. I have a strong track record of implementing Zero Trust principles, strengthening security posture, and improving visibility through tools like Azure Log Analytics and SQL. Beyond infrastructure, I focus heavily on automation and process optimization using Power Automate, Dataverse, and API integrations. I’ve built end-to-end workflows that reduce manual effort, improve data accuracy, and streamline operations across platforms such as SharePoint Online and Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations. I’m known for solving complex technical problems, simplifying systems, and delivering reliable, secure solutions in fast-paced environments. Whether it’s securing identities, automating business processes, or optimizing cloud infrastructure, I bring a practical, results-driven approach to every project. Currently open to opportunities in cloud infrastructure, security engineering, and automation-focused roles where I can contribute to building modern, secure, and efficient IT environments.
