Background

About Michael Thomsen

I am a Systems Engineer with a passion for driving IT innovation and empowering end-user success. Since 2019, I’ve built a reputation as a self-sufficient IT powerhouse, managing infrastructure and projects, solving complex problems, and mentoring peers across the organization. With many certifications already obtained from Microsoft and CompTIA, and plans of expanding that portfolio throughout my career, I excel in crafting scalable solutions and implementing cutting-edge technologies that enhance operational efficiency and deliver measurable results while continuously expanding my knowledge base. Some highlights of my time in IT are modernizing IT infrastructures, implementing ERP and manufacturing systems, re-engineering networks and server arrays, and optimizing cloud and virtualization platforms like Microsoft Azure, VMware ESXi, and Hyper-V. My experience in server and cloud administration, network architecture, SQL, and PowerShell scripting ensures effective and secure systems that align with organizational goals. I thrive on bridging the gap between technology and people, enabling end-users to unlock the full potential of the tools at their disposal. By fostering collaboration across teams and guiding IT projects from concept to execution, I aim to bring value not only to IT departments but to organizations as a whole. The end-goal for my career is to be a top-tier Systems Architect. I want to be the architect who, not just understands, but is an expert in every layer, who can bridge gaps between teams, and who leads the team by example. I want everyone in the organization to feel comfortable turning to me for guidance on anything they need and to lead them to the best solution possible. My main goal of technology will always be to stay scalable, efficient, and secure while balancing CapEx/OpEx with the budget set before me. If you're looking for someone who blends deep technical expertise with strategic foresight, someone who builds, leads, and empowers then let's connect.
