Microsoft 365 & modern workplace engineer

Microsoft 365 and modern workplace engineer with a strong foundation in cloud administration, PowerShell automation, and end-to-end project delivery across managed-service environments. Currently leading multi-tenant M365 migrations, Intune endpoint management and SharePoint/OneDrive engineering for a portfolio of Australian clients. I combine deep technical capability with strong client-facing communication - translating complex Microsoft cloud concepts for non-technical stakeholders, handling escalations, and producing end-user training assets. My background spans UK government-classified MSP environments through to Australian utilities and corporate IT.
