Welcome. I'm a Microsoft security architect with more than 20 years in Microsoft technologies. I design identity, data protection, and threat protection programs for regulated organizations, and I'm looking for a remote role where I can build and lead a security team. My full curriculum vitae has the details.
At CollabPoint, I designed the company's complete security services framework, from Microsoft 365 and Active Directory assessments through Conditional Access, PIM, Purview, and Defender. I've led 10 tenant assessments for about a dozen clients, including four banks and a government contractor. One bank now follows a three-year security roadmap I built, and two clients have passed regulatory audits after remediation I led.
Before that, I spent ten years at IBM (formerly AT&T) on enterprise-scale identity and resilience. I architected AD FS single sign-on for a 100,000-user hospitality company and consolidated more than 400 legacy domains down to four. I also designed a 65,000-seat SharePoint disaster recovery architecture across US and European data centers that delivered a two-hour RTO against an eight-hour requirement.
Leadership has run through my whole career. I managed a team of six architects at IBM. As a Microsoft Certified Trainer for over 20 years, including six at Microsoft and a year at AWS, I taught about 500 people a year and ran Train-the-Trainer programs that developed other instructors. That's why I can explain risk to executives and coach engineers through the details: I'm used to making complex security work clear enough for people to act on.
I'm ready to bring those threads together in a security lead role: setting direction, growing a team, and turning strategy into work that ships. If your organization is looking to strengthen its security program, I'd welcome a conversation. You can reach me here.
