April 2021 – Present / Microsoft
In Microsoft's Support for Mission Critical team, I advise enterprise customers on hybrid identity, Active Directory, Microsoft Entra, identity security and disaster recovery.
I co-developed FRAP (Forest Recovery Automation Program), adopted by 20+ enterprise customers across 10+ countries. I created VIRT (Virtual Infrastructure Restoration Tool). Used together with FRAP, it recreated and configured 20 virtual machines in under one hour. In one recovery example, forest recovery time went from 72 hours to 8.
