Cloud Systems Administrator — Microsoft 365, Entra ID & Enterprise AI Platforms

Québec, Canada · 418-559-0646 · linkedin.com/in/akaoukab · abdeladim.kaoukab.net

Summary

I help organizations run Microsoft 365 and enterprise AI platforms that are secure, well governed and cost-effective.

As a Microsoft 365 and Entra ID administrator at a managed service provider, I manage and coordinate files for several client organizations at once across the Microsoft 365 ecosystem: Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Outlook, Exchange Online and Entra ID. I bridge technical teams, vendors, managers and business stakeholders: I analyze needs, explain technical issues in plain language and move complex files forward to resolution. I support governance, change management and digital transformation: identity and access management, Conditional Access and MFA, configuration standardization, migrations to Exchange Online and OneDrive, and enterprise AI adoption (Microsoft 365 Copilot, ChatGPT Business, Claude Team) with SSO, group-based access and license management. I also automate recurring administration with PowerShell, Microsoft Graph and Power Automate.
