I help organizations strengthen security, automate processes, and streamline device management across Intune, Windows 365, and the Microsoft Security stack. My work focuses on closing real gaps, from PowerShell-driven Intune automation and third-party patching to hands-on Security Copilot implementations.

On Stage
I'm a regular speaker at leading IT and security conferences, including MEM Summit Paris (which I co-organize), NIC Summit Oslo, WP Ninja Summits, and Cloud Technology Town Hall. My sessions are technical, demo-heavy, and built around solutions you can take back to work on Monday.

Beyond the Stage
I write at scloud.work, contribute a weekly short-format column to msnugget.com, and create tech demos and automation guides that go deeper on the topics I cover live. If it involves modern device management, security, or making Intune do things Microsoft hasn't gotten around to yet, I'm probably working on it.
