About Me

I’m an IT Systems and Cybersecurity Specialist with over 17 years of experience in modernizing, securing, and supporting enterprise IT environments.

Experience

I specialize in cloud transformation, endpoint hardening, Zero Trust principles, and implementing security-first solutions that strengthen operational resilience. Throughout my career, I’ve led major modernization initiatives-from Active Directory and Windows Server upgrades to enterprise-wide Intune deployments, SIEM/XDR rollout, and data protection programs using Microsoft Purview.

My work bridges hands-on engineering, IT service delivery excellence, and strategic cybersecurity leadership, ensuring organizations stay secure, efficient, and future-ready. I’m passionate about designing solutions that not only solve today’s challenges, but also enable long-term scalability, compliance, and operational maturity.
