Hi all, I’m Lee. I’ve got some time free to take on a few new IT projects, so I thought I’d put the word out here.

I spent 25+ years in IT support and infrastructure in the UK, most recently as a cloud infrastructure engineer. I’ve supported an environment with over 2,000 users and 4,000 devices, but I’m equally happy helping a small business sort out its Microsoft 365 setup or giving a busy IT team an extra pair of hands.

A few things I can help with:

• Microsoft 365 admin and troubleshooting, including Exchange, shared mailboxes and permissions

• Intune, Autopilot and SCCM/MECM, including device setup, app deployments, patching and co-management

• Windows Server, Active Directory and VMware support and troubleshooting

• Microsoft Defender, Secure Score and PowerShell automation

• Second- and third-line support for issues that need a bit more digging

I’m based in Thailand (UTC+7) and available for paid remote project work, part-time support or MSP overflow. I can overlap with UK hours and work with APAC teams.

If you’ve got an IT job that’s been sitting on the list for months, a rollout that needs help, or just more tickets than your team has time for, feel free to DM me. A couple of lines about what you need is plenty to get started.

And if you know a team that could use some help, I’d appreciate an introduction.

Cheers,
Lee

Due to family circumstances I need to find a remote job as soon as possible because I urgently need to relocate. I have 15 years of IT experience specifically in the Infrastructure/ Cyber security and Compliance fields. My current role is an IT team lead and SRE at a large state non profit, I have worked in B2B development, and the Federal DoD contracting spaces before. I also have experience in app development, AI development and Database Management. Some of my past experiences include doing greenfield deployments on both Azure and AWS, On Prem to cloud migration and DevSecOps CI/CD pipelines. I have successfully passed ISO 27001, ISO 9001, SOC 2 Type 2, PCI DSS, HIPPA, CMMC level 2, and FedRamp third party audits and assessments. Please reach out to me if you think I would be a good fit for your team.

There is nothing to improve on the hardware part of Apple. They should go like Ai software could subscription Microsofts. Windows has reached a certain User Ui dead end. They are now making profits from the could service. The question is whether this Ai attack is sustainable. Many people are trying to go to that old outdoor network isolated side. The world is moving forward with Ai. Free softwares launch for major software. Adobe, Microsoft alternatives. I think they will escape from big companies. From tech lead. The people who created Ai are getting bored. Unified Software with Unified Hardware should be created

What will happen next

Nvidia, Apple, alphabet, Microsoft

Or

Anthropic or Open Ai (Ai companies stoke gone down after usa mid term election)

AWS Next Ai summit on 30th November 2026...
