Greetings! I am a Security-focused System Administrator specializing in Blue Team operations, Cloud Infrastructure, and Identity & Access Management (IAM).
My primary focus is on fortifying digital frontiers. My expertise lies in the Microsoft ecosystem (Azure & M365), where I architect and manage secure environments that protect organizational assets against evolving threats. I don't just build systems; I defend them. I also help to create policy and best practices, ensuring that the organizations I work with are secured on the technical and policy level.
Let’s connect to discuss how I can help harden your organization’s security posture and drive digital resilience.
In my journey as an IT professional, I've had the privilege to contribute my skills and expertise to a diverse range of projects. Here are some key highlights that showcase my experience and dedication:
Metrics & Stats so far:
10+ Power Automate Flows
3+ Power Apps
3 SharePoint Migrations
2 MFA Campaigns
3+ PowerShell Applications
20+ Blog Posts
AND much more!
BAESL (Bulk AD Entra Sandbox Loader)
BAESL is a PowerShell-based utility designed for developers and administrators to rapidly populate test environments with realistic identity data. Whether you're working with on-prem Active Directory or Microsoft Entra, BAESL helps simulate real-world usage by:
•Creating bulk user accounts with customizable attributes
•Automating user actions to mimic authentic behavior
•Supporting sandboxed environments for safe, repeatable testing
Ideal for development, demos, and compliance testing, BAESL streamlines identity provisioning so you can focus on what matters: building and validating secure systems.
Shadowman (Entra App Auditor)
Shadowman is a powerful and targeted PowerShell script designed for IT administrators and security professionals. It goes beyond a standard application inventory by focusing specifically on applications where individual users have granted permissions (user consent). By combining consent data with usage analysis and a configurable risk scoring model, this tool provides a clear, actionable report to help you:
•Discover user-consented applications that bypass formal IT approval processes.
•Prioritize security reviews by flagging apps with high-risk permissions.
•Manage your application security posture by identifying dormant but privileged apps that should be revoked.
•Demonstrate compliance by providing a clear audit trail of user consents.

Spearheaded and lead an organization-wide Exchange Online migration, ensuring users were empowered to utilize Exchange Online features and services.
