SENIOR SYSTEMS ENGINEER · AHEAD
I've spent more than twenty years keeping big Microsoft environments running: the laptops, the identities, the cloud they all talk to, and the scripts holding it together. These days I do that at AHEAD. After hours I build websites, work on G8KEPR, and write fiction and songs.
I'm on AHEAD's Microsoft managed services team. When a client's Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Intune, or Azure setup goes sideways, the ticket often ends up with us. The good part is figuring out why it broke, not just making the error go away.

g8kepr.com ↗Fast, readable, and free of page-builder bloat. You're looking at one right now.

Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Intune, and Azure for enterprise clients. Lots of variety, and it's never boring.

Pulling cable through ceilings and crawlspaces, long before anybody called it infrastructure. It's where I learned how networks actually get built, one run at a time.
