I'm transitioning into IT support and systems administration, building hands-on labs across on-premises Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID, hybrid identity, and cloud identity management to develop real-world MSP-ready skills.
Alongside IT infrastructure, I have a background in JavaScript/TypeScript backend development and enjoy building practical tools and automation projects.
Currently focused on:
- 🖥 Windows Server & Active Directory
- ☁️ Microsoft Entra ID & Azure identity management
- 🔀 Hybrid environments & Microsoft Entra Cloud Sync
