• Strong, hands‑on expertise across the Microsoft ecosystem: Microsoft 365 (Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, Intune), Azure (Entra ID, VMs, networking, AD Connect), and Windows Server / Active Directory.
• Proficiency with PowerShell scripting for automation, reporting, and troubleshooting.
• Solid understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VPN, firewalls) and virtualization technologies (Hyper‑V and/or VMware).
• Experience with security tooling: Microsoft Defender suite, Microsoft Sentinel/SIEM concepts, endpoint protection, and patch management.
