ABOUT RYAN SMYTH

I am a Systems Administrator and Infrastructure specialist with a career-long focus on transforming IT from a support function into a strategic asset. Starting my journey on the Service Desk, I’ve evolved into a Cloud and Security-focused professional who builds resilient, automated, and scalable environments.I specialize in the \"Modern Workplace\" stack—bridging the gap between Microsoft 365 governance, Multi-Cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure), and Secure Networking.Where I add value:M365 & Identity: Expert-level administration of Entra ID, SharePoint, and Teams. I focus on securing identities via Intune and Conditional Access, ensuring compliance isn\'t just a checkbox, but a standard.Automation & Scripting: I believe in \"Code First.\" Whether I’m using PowerShell and Graph API to automate tenant governance or using nano to fine-tune Linux instances in AWS, I prioritize repeatable, documented, and efficient workflows.Security & Compliance: I played a key role in achieving ISO 27001 certification by architecting evidence packs, compliance checks, and automated reporting.Infrastructure & Networking: Hands-on experience designing Ubiquiti UniFi ecosystems, utilizing VLAN segmentation and secure access control to protect physical and digital assets.I am a firm believer that IT should be a force multiplier. My goal is always the same: security, efficiency, and a frictionless experience for the end-user.Connect with me: r••••••••@hotmail.com
