About Dan Bragilevsky

I’m an IT Systems Engineer focused on Windows infrastructure, identity, and operational security in MSP environments.My work centers on supporting and hardening Active Directory, Microsoft 365, and endpoint environments while handling Tier 2 escalations across networking, services, and authentication layers. I build PowerShell automation to reduce repeat incidents, develop SQL diagnostics for faster root cause analysis, and operate within strict SLA-driven production environments.I bring a unique background in enterprise delivery across financial services and education. Before moving fully into hands-on infrastructure roles, I led complex technical initiatives spanning APIs, system integrations, and cross-functional engineering teams. That experience sharpened my understanding of risk, controls, and how technical decisions impact business continuity.Today, my focus is clear: deepen expertise in identity, networking, and security. I’m particularly interested in how access control, automation, and infrastructure design intersect with defensive security.Core focus areas:• Windows Server, Active Directory & Entra ID• Microsoft 365 administration & identity management• Networking fundamentals (DNS, DHCP, VPN)• PowerShell automation & operational hardening• Incident response & root cause analysis
