About me

Solution Consultant with a solid background from IT operations, public sector, and consulting. I combine customer dialogue, operational experience, and technical delivery across cloud, security, and modern workplace services.

I have broad hands-on experience from user support and infrastructure to development, automation, and self-hosted solutions. I mainly work with Azure, Microsoft 365, Linux, networking, PHP/Python, and security-related improvements.

I thrive where technical challenges meet real business needs, and I enjoy making complex solutions easier to use, operate, and improve over time.

  • Security and networking
  • Automation and scripting
