Experience
Recruiters always ask two things: how long have you worked with X, and what did you actually do with it. So here's the honest answer — every core domain, the years behind it, the tools, and the clients where it ran in production.

The domains I work across the stack. The bar shows continuous hands-on use across roles — not certificate dates. Open a domain to see related notebook posts.
L2/L3 design, segmentation and migrations — from factory-floor networks to enterprise Wi-Fi surveys.
Server, storage and backup platforms designed to be resilient — and documented to survive the handover.
Full M365 and Azure migrations and governance — Exchange, SharePoint, Teams, Intune, Defender and Entra ID.
Identity and privileged-access frameworks — the right people, the right access, and a trail you can prove.
Rolling out and hardening the defensive stack across endpoints, servers and the network — EDR/XDR/VDR, antivirus, next-gen firewalls, secure DNS and email security — so threats get caught and contained, not just logged.
Leading infrastructure teams and mentoring the engineers on them — from networking team lead to on-site infra manager, with direct reports and the operational standards that come with the role.
Bridging plant and office — Purdue-model segmentation and OT/IT security that keeps production running.
Building a private fleet of AI agents and MCP tooling — automating the homelab and real ops, with secrets kept where they belong.
Independent, framework-based reviews of IT/OT environments — measured against NIS2, ISO 27001, CyFun and CIS v8, with the gaps turned into an evidence-backed remediation roadmap.
