Your vSphere environment drifted from its baseline and nobody noticed. I map the dependencies, score the risk, and hand you a runbook so your team can keep it from drifting again.

• Environment map + dependency topology
• vSphere config baseline (Drift Checklist)
• Health score with prioritized remediation
• Configuration audit report
• Runbook for ongoing drift detection

Azure spending tripled and nobody can explain why. I set up the guardrails: policy baselines, RBAC, cost alerts, and a landing zone your team can build on without creating the next mess.

• Management group hierarchy and subscription topology
• Azure Policy baselines (CIS, NIST, custom)
• RBAC role design and Entra ID integration
• Cost Management budgets and anomaly alerts
• Landing zone accelerator deployment
• Tagging taxonomy and enforcement
• Resource naming convention automation
• Governance documentation and runbooks

Migrations fail when someone skips the dependency map and hopes for the best. I move workloads in phased waves with a rollback path at every stage. If something breaks, I roll back. No drama.

• Pre-migration network and dependency mapping
• Phased "wave" execution planning
• Reversible "parallel run" architecture
• Explicit rollback runbooks
• Cutover validation

Broadcom changed the math on virtualization. I run the licensing audit, inventory the workloads, and hand you a migration roadmap with costs, timelines, and rollback options before you commit to anything.

• Licensing cost analysis (current vs. projected)
• Workload inventory and dependency mapping
• Target platform evaluation (Azure, Nutanix, Proxmox)
• Phased migration roadmap with rollback gates
• Cost modeling for stay vs. optimize vs. exit

Your backups run every night. Have you ever restored from one? I run the restore test, document the RTO and RPO, and hand you the proof that your recovery plan actually works.

• Formal backup environment audit
• Documentation of RTO and RPO metrics
• Executed restore tests (sandbox)
• Disaster recovery runbook creation
• Immutable storage verification

Gap analysis against HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI DSS, or CJIS technical safeguard requirements. Evidence-based findings with remediation priorities, not checkbox theater.

• Technical safeguard gap analysis
• Evidence collection and documentation
• Remediation roadmap with priority scoring
• Policy and procedure review
• Audit preparation package

You need senior infrastructure leadership but not a full-time hire. I did this for 10 years at a 21-site healthcare organization. Roadmap, vendors, compliance, budget. Your team gets stronger, not more dependent.

• Technology roadmap and capital planning
• Vendor evaluation and contract review
• Security posture and compliance oversight
• IT budget analysis and optimization
• Board-ready infrastructure reporting
• Staff mentoring and team structure guidance

Six years inside a cloud service provider showed me exactly how MSPs operate, what they track, and what they skip. I review your provider's delivery against contract and hand you a report with actual leverage.

• SLA compliance verification against contract terms
• Ticket volume and resolution time analysis
• Backup and patching coverage audit
• Security baseline gap assessment
• Vendor cost benchmarking
• Written findings report with renegotiation leverage

You're acquiring a company, investing in one, or inheriting someone else's infrastructure. I tell you what's actually there, what it will cost to integrate, and whether the technical debt is a rounding error or a dealbreaker.

• Infrastructure inventory and dependency mapping
• Technical debt quantification
• Security and compliance risk scoring
• Integration complexity assessment
• Operational cost projection (12-month)
• Executive summary with go/no-go framework
