Experience

Google to Office 365 Migration

Migrated over 20,000 mailboxes and Google Doc files to Exchange Online and OneDrive for enterprise organizations, working as the architect and engineer. I worked with third-party tools to ensure data integrity remained during the migration.

Office 365 Migration Expert

Migrated a recent client from Microsoft 365 to Google Platform by performing end-to-end migration for email and data. The client was completely satisfied with our service. We were able to deliver this project ahead of schedule.

Office 365 Consultant

I was the lead Office 365 expert on this project, helping the customer resolve any technical issues they were experiencing. I also performed day-to-day operations support for the entire company. I worked hand in hand with the onsite team on a remote basis, ensuring all Office 365 products were supported.

Network Troubleshooting

The client needed assistance with all phases of IT, from networking to security and Windows support. I was called upon to wear many hats while performing other troubleshooting duties, such as printer issues and firewall access for endpoints.
