Services & engagement models

Whether you need rapid incident support or an experienced engineer to deliver Microsoft 365 and infrastructure change, I design engagements to start fast, integrate with your team, and leave lasting value.

Retained support

Ongoing coverage for executive and priority teams. Includes agreed hours each month, agreed response windows, and proactive health checks to surface risks before they impact operations.

Project delivery

Fixed-scope engagements to deliver specific outcomes such as Intune rollouts, Autopilot implementations, or network refreshes. Run with clear, transparent governance so stakeholders know what’s happening.

Interim leadership

Step-in leadership for service desks or EUC functions, providing direction, process uplift, and coaching while you recruit permanent heads of department.

Rapid response

Short-term engagements when you need another senior engineer for escalations, incident recovery, or to cover peaks in project activity.
