What I Solve

Cloud & Identity

Your M365 tenant is set up — but nobody's managing it properly.

I take ownership of your Microsoft 365 and Entra ID environment. Conditional Access, Intune, lifecycle automation, and ongoing management — so your cloud identity is secure and your team just works.

5,000+ endpoints managed across client environments

Security & Compliance

You need Cyber Essentials or ISO 27001 — but don't have in-house security expertise.

I run the full certification lifecycle: gap analysis, technical controls, policy authoring, evidence gathering, and audit preparation.

Automation

Your team wastes hours on repetitive IT tasks.

I build automation that eliminates manual work — onboarding/offboarding workflows, patch management, scheduled reporting, and data pipelines using PowerShell, Power Automate, and Azure Automation.

60% patch deployment time reduction achieved

Fractional IT Leadership

You've outgrown ad-hoc IT support — but aren't ready for a full-time hire.

I embed in your team as a part-time IT & security lead. I attend your meetings, know your people, and own your outcomes — at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.
