Fractional CISO and Microsoft security architect. I help organizations secure identity, devices, and data in Microsoft 365, then use AI agents and automation to keep that security running without adding headcount.
Over the past 13+ years I’ve worked inside the environments I now secure: endpoint engineering, identity, Windows at enterprise scale, and security leadership. On Upwork that’s 9,000+ hours, $400K+ earned, Top Rated Plus, and 100% Job Success, for clients in healthcare, insurance, financial services, energy, and manufacturing.
WHAT I DO
Security Leadership (vCISO / Fractional CISO)
• Security strategy, roadmaps, and board-ready reporting
• Risk assessments, policies, and audit and compliance readiness
• AI governance: safe, policy-backed adoption of Copilot and other AI tools
• Vendor and third-party risk reviews
AI Agents and Security Automation
• AI-assisted SecOps: automated triage, alert enrichment, and investigation summaries
• Monitoring pipelines on Microsoft Sentinel and OpenClaw that catch privileged role changes, sign-in anomalies, MFA failures, and persistence activity, then open tickets automatically
• Custom agents and workflows that replace repetitive IT and security tasks (onboarding, access reviews, compliance evidence, reporting)
• PowerShell, Microsoft Graph, and Logic Apps automation
Modern Microsoft Architecture
• Entra ID: Conditional Access, MFA, PIM, RBAC, identity governance, FIDO2 and passwordless
• Intune and Autopilot: zero-touch provisioning, compliance, app deployment, Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android
• SCCM to Intune and on-prem AD to Entra migrations
• Microsoft Defender: endpoint protection, ASR rules, security baselines
• Purview: DLP, sensitivity labels, retention, and information protection
• Jamf and Apple MDM, Group Policy, Windows Server, MDT
HOW I WORK
• Assess first: a clear picture of where you stand before anything changes
• Build in phases with pilots, so nothing breaks in production
• Automate what repeats, so the controls stay in place after I hand off
• Document everything: runbooks and handoff sessions your team can actually use
WHY CLIENTS HIRE ME
I’m not a strategist who has never touched a tenant, and I’m not an engineer who can’t talk to leadership. I do both. I can sit with your executives on risk, then go build the Conditional Access policies, the Intune baselines, and the automation behind them.
