About Bill Drexler

Experienced and detail-oriented Systems Administrator and Azure Administrator with over 15 years managing IT infrastructure, cloud platforms, and security in hybrid Windows and macOS environments. I specialize in Microsoft Azure, Azure Active Directory, Microsoft 365, Windows Server (2016–2022), endpoint protection, and PowerShell automation. Adept at administering enterprise platforms and tools including JIRA and SharePoint. I’ve led projects deploying secure backups, encryption policies, RMM tools, and VOIP systems — while mentoring junior IT staff and optimizing system performance and compliance. My work spans cloud and on-premises environments, with hands-on experience configuring, securing, and scaling Azure services, managing licensing, identity, MFA, and threat protection with Microsoft Defender and Sentinel. Passionate about documentation and efficiency, I serve as a JIRA Administrator, managing user access, workflows, and integrations to support development and operational teams. Currently advancing my cloud and security knowledge via Pluralsight and LinkedIn Learning, focusing on Microsoft Sentinel, Defender, and cloud governance.
