About Pasha Hedayati

I am a Senior Infrastructure Engineer with an 18-year track record of designing, securing, and optimizing enterprise-grade environments. My career is built on the \"gold standard\" of networking—combining a CCNP-level foundation with specialized mastery in Cisco Meraki (ECMS) and the Microsoft 365 ecosystem.I specialize in the convergence of physical infrastructure and cloud-native security. While my background is rooted in 12+ years of Cisco L2/L3 switching and 15+ years of Microsoft Server administration, I have spent the last 5+ years successfully pivoting that \"wired\" expertise into a modern, identity-centric architecture. I bridge the gap between legacy enterprise systems and 2026’s AI-driven workplace.* My Value Proposition: I bring a \"Packet-to-Policy\" perspective to IT operations. Because I understand the physical network (Meraki SD-WAN/Wireless) as deeply as the cloud identity layer (Entra ID/Intune), I can architect true Zero Trust environments that are both resilient and performant. I have led numerous enterprise projects from concept to production, ensuring that \"home-backed\" remote work and global office footprints are seamlessly secured.* Core Technical Stack- Network Excellence: Deep expertise in Cisco Meraki (MS, MR, MX, MV) and SD-WAN. Certified Cisco Meraki Solutions Specialist (ECMS)- Modern Workplace & Identity: 3+ years of specialization in Microsoft Intune (MDM/MAM), Autopilot, and Entra ID (formerly Azure AD)- Cloud Security: Designing secure hybrid connectivity using Azure Virtual WAN, Global Secure Access, and Microsoft Defender XDR- Unified Communications: 3+ years managing cloud VoIP ecosystems (8x8, RingCentral, Dialpad).* Current Mission: I am currently leading the \"AI-Security Pivot,\" leveraging my infrastructure background to safely integrate Agentic AI and Copilot within the enterprise. I am actively pursuing the SC-100 (Cybersecurity Architect) and AZ-700 (Azure Network Engineer) to continue setting the standard for Hybrid Cloud Security.Let’s connect to discuss Enterprise Modernization, Zero Trust, or the future of Hybrid Infrastructure.
