Technical architecture, automation platforms, and knowledge contributions across cloud, identity, and enterprise operations.
Designed and implemented an automated guest account lifecycle management system for a national defense contractor with 150,000+ users, bridging Azure Commercial and Azure Government clouds. The solution eliminated manual provisioning steps and reduced identity exposure across a highly regulated environment.
Designed and delivered a full-stack time tracking solution using a serverless Azure backend, covering everything from a mobile-responsive Power Apps canvas app to automated ADP payroll synchronization and daily email reporting.
Architected a serverless ETL pipeline pulling workforce data from ADP (via mTLS-secured API) and LinkedIn Learning into Azure SQL, creating a unified data foundation for workforce analytics and reporting.
Built a serverless pipeline that pulls employee data from an HR and payroll system via mTLS-secured API and populates corresponding user properties in Entra ID. The architecture uses Azure SQL as an intermediate store — Functions pull from the HR system, normalize and stage the data in SQL, then a separate process syncs from SQL into Entra ID. This decouples the HR pull cadence from the Entra write cadence and creates an audit trail at the transformation layer. Certificates are managed in Azure Key Vault; Functions authenticate to Azure SQL via Managed Identity.
Designed and delivered a 9-environment Power Platform governance framework for a large enterprise food manufacturing client. The framework established layered DLP policies, environment-level permissions, and operational reporting across the full environment tier structure from Personal and Development through Test and Production.
Led two concurrent M365 platform modernization initiatives. Migrated all users to Exchange Online via hybrid OAuth configuration, designed for zero user downtime throughout the transition. In parallel, migrated all endpoints from a legacy MDM platform to Microsoft Intune, building all device management policies and enrollment processes from scratch to replace existing controls with a modern, cloud-native endpoint management framework.
Responded to an emergency call to remediate a malware infection that had spread across the entire network of a 9-county public library system, spanning multiple geographically distributed branch locations. Remediation included analysis of the infection's spread, identification of the cause and entry point, coordination with the customer on notification and next steps, data cleanup, PC reloads, and malware removal across the full network. Following recovery, designed and implemented a comprehensive hardening program: LAN segmentation via VLANs, firewall controls, Group Policy Objects, increased desktop security, and additional network-layer protections.
Designed and delivered a multi-week internal training workshop for Microsoft Trainers focused on elevating the craft of technical instruction across in-person and remote formats. Sessions covered learning styles and how to structure delivery that reaches all types of learners; audio and video best practices including workspace optimization, microphone selection and placement, camera positioning, lighting, and clothing patterns that cause visual interference; and drawing and diagramming techniques, with emphasis on using tools in a way that feels natural to the audience without drawing attention to the tooling itself. Conducted in one-hour sessions approximately twice per week over six weeks.
Served as subject matter expert contributing to the outline and design of three Microsoft certification tracks and associated courseware. Independently authored and delivered curriculum for Learning Tree International training programs reaching professionals worldwide.
Keynote addressing government and law enforcement investigators on the use of virtualization to perform forensic analysis of suspect systems offline — enabling examination of criminal computers without risk of evidence contamination or network exposure.
Presented to Microsoft's global field and partner community on identity, Zero Trust security, and cloud architecture best practices.
Featured speaker on enterprise network visibility, security monitoring strategy, and architecture leadership in complex environments.
Delivered technical training to thousands of IT professionals worldwide across cloud architecture, identity and access management, cybersecurity, and infrastructure. Notable clients include NASA, FBI, FDIC, Boeing, US Supreme Court, and branches of the US military.
