CV / Resume

Infrastructure & endpoint engineer keeping Windows/macOS estates stable for 500–7,000+ devices.

Greater Manchester, UK — Hybrid/remote-ready — UK-wide roles.

I keep Windows/macOS estates steady for education, finance, and regulated teams—standardising Intune/Autopilot, Entra ID, Conditional Access, and Microsoft 365 so service desks can breathe.

Delivery combines PowerShell automation, documentation, and safeguarding tooling (Sophos, Smoothwall, Senso) so identity-first guardrails stay enforced without constant heroics.

Key strengths

  • Identity-first endpoint programmes with measurable baselines, monitoring, and change control.
  • Intune, Entra ID, and Microsoft 365 administration paired with PowerShell and GitHub automation.
  • Calm stakeholder comms across safeguarding, leadership, and regulated operations.
