About Sam Smith
I am a Senior Lead Systems Administrator who bridges the gap between complex infrastructure and business-critical results. My career has been defined by a simple philosophy: technology should be a multiplier for a company’s growth, not a bottleneck.Currently at F1/NX, I serve as a technical lead, overseeing the architecture of modern digital environments. I specialize in orchestrating the transition of legacy on-premises systems to agile cloud solutions like SharePoint, OneDrive, and Egnyte. I don\'t just \"manage\" servers, I architect the identity and security frameworks (Azure AD, Intune) that allow teams to work securely from anywhere.What I bring to the table:• Cloud Transformation: Proven track record of migrating aging physical infrastructure to scalable cloud and hybrid environments.• Security-First Operations: Designing comprehensive endpoint security and compliance standards using Microsoft Intune and Datto RMM.• Technical Leadership: A commitment to mentoring junior staff and standardizing SOPs to improve team efficiency and documentation standards.• Strategic Partnership: Collaborating directly with executive leadership to ensure IT projects align with long-term business goals.Core Tech Stack:• Cloud & Identity: Azure AD, Microsoft Intune, SharePoint, OneDrive, Egnyte. Dropbox.• Infrastructure: Windows/Linux/UNIX Admin, Active Directory (GPO), VMware, Hyper-V.• Networking: Ubiquiti, Cisco, Palo Alto, SonicWall.• Monitoring & RMM: Datto RMM, SolarWinds, ConnectWise, PRTG.I am passionate about building robust, secure systems that empower people to do their best work. Whether it\'s a full-stack network deployment or a multi-site cloud migration, I thrive on solving the \"impossible\" puzzles of modern IT.
