Tarek AlJallad Email & Phone Number | 15+ years experienced Systems Architect focused on networking, Azure infrastructure, and Microsoft 365 with a splash of security on all of them. I'll troubleshoot a thing until I learn how all its inner things work. If standard logs aren’t giving me what I need, then there might be debug logs that can be enabled, if I’m still not getting there, then Wireshark or Procmon. There is always a tool that will let you see what’s happening at a lower level. Passionate in standardizing everything possible, from IaC and 365 DSC to migration checklists and network device configuration scripts, even how documentation should be written. Always trying to be security conscious of the attack surfaces and gaps that exist that many are not aware of or don’t have the capacity to deal with, putting on a red team mindset with any implementation or when reviewing any environment. Properly configuring and enabling security features is an absolute requirement before wrapping up a new deployment. If you aren’t keeping logs of everything, figure out how to make that happen. Why do some people still think MFA is negotiable? I started in IT because of my amazement of how networking works and connects the world, which I came to learn is scary since its all shoe strung together, yet still amazing to see all the BGP routes on a route server or client edge router. I’ve evolved over the years into designing and managing numerous SMB environments with up to 500 employees. Meraki and Cisco Firepower have been the main network products I’ve been working on recently. As well as numerous migrations to 365 for Exchange, SharePoint, Teams and AAD in general. AD to Azure AD migrations abandoning AD and getting all Windows devices on AAD and Intune with sufficient security controls. 365 tenant to tenant migrations from commercial to GCC to meet NIST 171-500 or CMMC. Azure AD Security tune-ups for CA, PIM, Defender for Endpoint, Defender for 365, MFA roll-outs. Lead for troubleshooting issues and critical design decisions as well as provided technical training to internal staff. I force myself to think of all the angles and implications of a potential recommendation before providing it, it’s a heavy weight to carry when so many design decisions have long-term cost and operational implications on an organization.
