Description

Senior IT consultant with 15+ years of enterprise experience, specialising in Microsoft cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, and network architecture. I help businesses in Berlin and across Europe design, migrate, and secure their IT environments — on time and without surprises.

My background spans Tier-1 financial institutions, international organisations, and technology firms including Merrill Lynch, the World Bank Group, and FDH Aero. I bring the rigour of enterprise IT to mid-market and SME clients who need senior-level expertise without the overhead of a large consultancy.

Core focus areas: Microsoft 365 tenant migrations and administration, Azure and Entra ID identity management, Intune MDM and endpoint security, Cisco Meraki network design, IT security audits and MFA rollout, and hybrid cloud architecture.

Whether you need a trusted partner for a complex migration, a security audit before a compliance deadline, or hands-on support to fix a critical infrastructure issue — I deliver clear outcomes, not just effort.

Architect and deliver end-to-end Microsoft Azure solutions for international client organizations — VNet design, Entra
ID identity modernization, hybrid cloud migration, M365 tenant hardening, and Azure cost optimization — serving as
the primary senior cloud engineering resource for clients without in-house infrastructure capability.
• Design and implement Zero Trust identity frameworks using Entra ID Conditional Access, MFA, and Intune device
trust; deploy PKI certificate-based authentication eliminating password-based access to enterprise applications and
Wi-Fi infrastructure across client environments.
• Deliver AI automation projects using Power Automate, n8n, Azure AI Document Intelligence, and the Anthropic
Claude API — replacing manual workflows (invoice extraction, approval chains, reporting) with reliable, documented
automated processes.
• Provide platform-agnostic firewall consulting across 7 enterprise platforms (Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Cisco
ASA/FTD, Azure Firewall, FortiGate, Sophos XG/XGS, Cisco Meraki MX) with no vendor commission relationships —
recommendations driven entirely by client environment fit.
• Act as fractional virtual CIO (vCIO) for growth-stage clients: technology roadmap development, Azure adoption
strategy, IT budget planning, and board-level technical advisory aligned to business objectives.
