What I do

Services

Six practice areas. One consultant. 30 years of doing this for real.

☁️

Cloud & Infrastructure

End-to-end cloud strategy and delivery. Whether you're lifting and shifting, re-architecting, or building net-new in Azure or AWS — I've run the full project lifecycle from assessment through go-live.

  • ›On-premises to cloud migrations (Azure, AWS)
  • ›Infrastructure design and consulting
  • ›Hardware upgrades and lifecycle planning
  • ›Site relocations and data center moves
  • ›Network architecture and redesign
⚙️

DevOps & Automation

15+ years shipping real pipelines. From greenfield CI/CD builds to untangling legacy release processes, I work directly with development teams using the tools they already use.

  • ›Azure DevOps pipeline design and implementation
  • ›GitHub Actions workflows
  • ›Terraform infrastructure as code (IaC)
  • ›Azure automation runbooks and scripts
  • ›PowerShell and Python automation
  • ›Application development (web, internal tooling)

Identity & Modern Workplace

Microsoft's Entra-only push is real and the migration is harder than it looks. I've run these migrations end to end — hybrid cleanup, conditional access policies, device compliance, the works.

  • ›Active Directory to Entra ID (Azure AD) migrations
  • ›Entra-only (cloud-only identity) projects
  • ›Conditional access and MFA policies
  • ›Microsoft 365 deployment and hardening
  • ›Device deployments (Intune, Autopilot)
  • ›SSO and app registration

Security & Compliance

Security that fits your risk profile, not a generic checklist. I bring an auditor's eye and an engineer's hands — I can find the gaps and close them.

  • ›Security posture assessments and audits
  • ›Vulnerability and threat management programs
  • ›Patch management strategy and tooling
  • ›PCI compliance consulting
  • ›Zero-trust architecture planning
  • ›Incident response preparation
🗄️

Data & Databases

SQL Server from the ground up — installations, migrations, performance work, and modernization to Azure SQL or Managed Instances.

  • ›SQL Server administration and optimization
  • ›Database migrations (on-prem to Azure SQL / Managed Instance)
  • ›Performance tuning and query optimization
  • ›Backup, recovery, and HA/DR planning
  • ›Data platform modernization
🔧

Field & Project Services

The messy, complex projects other consultants subcontract. M&A integrations, multi-site rollouts, and the kind of helpdesk work that actually requires someone who knows what they're doing.

  • ›Helpdesk and end-user support
  • ›M&A network integration and consolidation
  • ›Multi-site device deployments
  • ›Network and infrastructure project management
  • ›Technology due diligence for acquisitions
