Welcome! I’m a Consultant Engineer with over a decade of experience in Microsoft cloud solutions and enterprise device management. I help organizations modernize their IT infrastructure and create secure, efficient modern workspaces.
Professional Focus
As a Consultant Engineer at Chess ICT (following Silversands’ acquisition in late 2024), I specialize in:
- Microsoft Intune & Modern Device Management (MDM)
- Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) Design & Implementation
- Windows 11 Enterprise Deployment & Management
- Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) & Identity Management
- Cloud Infrastructure & Security
- Hybrid & Remote Work Solutions

I’m Microsoft-certified in Identity Management, Azure Virtual Desktop, and Enterprise Administration, bringing over a decade of experience in Microsoft cloud technologies. My approach combines technical expertise with practical solutions, helping businesses modernize their infrastructure while maintaining security and operational efficiency.
I particularly focus on helping organizations transition from traditional on-premises management (like MECM/SCCM and Group Policy) to modern cloud-native solutions, ensuring a smooth journey to a more agile and secure IT environment.

Personal Interests
I love tinkering with tech both in and out of work – there’s always something new to learn or create. Here’s what keeps me busy:
- Software Development: Just released my first app – the Fencing Bout Tracker, built to help fencing clubs manage their competitions.
- 3D Printing: Always busy with my Prusa Mini+, printing everything from miniatures to practical gadgets.
- Wargaming: Proud collector of Dark Angels (Warhammer 40K) and Late-war Germans (Bolt Action).
- LARP: Currently playing in three different systems:
- Empire LRP as a Varushkan character.
- Forlorn Hope, pretending to be a Napoleonic-era soldier.
- Hades, where I play an ’80s stockbroker.
- Fencing: Regular club fencer, mainly foil with some épée thrown in.
- Making & Electronics: Love building custom props and gadgets.
- Terrariums: Creating tiny worlds in glass.
