Microsoft MVP knowledge sharing

Bring practical Microsoft platform experience into your team through technical workshops, architecture discussions, and guidance tailored to your organization’s goals. I can help your engineers evaluate options, build skills, and turn lessons learned into practices they can use day to day.

Cloud engineering

Design and improve Azure and hybrid-cloud environments, from platform foundations to day-to-day operations. Areas of focus include:

• Azure architecture, landing zones, and governance
• Identity, access control, and security practices
• Azure Arc and hybrid infrastructure
• Infrastructure as code with Bicep
• Automation and CI/CD with Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions

Platform engineering

Build secure, governed cloud platforms that help teams deliver workloads consistently. This can include reusable infrastructure modules, landing-zone patterns, policy guardrails, CI/CD workflows, and self-service paths for common platform tasks.

PowerShell and Windows Server

Automate administration and configuration of Windows environments with practical PowerShell solutions. I can help develop scripts and modules, manage Windows Server configuration, and apply Desired State Configuration to make systems more consistent and repeatable.

Security, CIS, and AI

Improve security posture with clear controls, repeatable configuration, and operational guidance. Support can include:

• Security and access-control reviews for Microsoft and Azure environments
• Applying and tracking CIS Benchmark settings for Windows Server and cloud workloads
• Automating configuration checks and remediation with PowerShell and DSC
• Securing AI adoption, including identity and access, data protection, governance, and risk controls for AI solutions

Microsoft AzOps

Adopt or improve a Git-based operating model for Azure with Microsoft AzOps. AzOps represents Azure resource hierarchy in a repository and supports pulling existing resources into source control and deploying ARM templates or Bicep across Azure scopes.

I can help with solution design, repository structure, deployment workflows, governance controls, and team enablement so that Azure changes are reviewed, repeatable, and manageable at scale.
