<ul>
<li>Execution-focused: ability to follow SOPs and runbooks precisely while identifying when something does not match documented steps and escalating appropriately.</li>
<li>Multi-tenant management: comfortable switching between 4-7 different client Azure/M365 environments daily without cross-contaminating configurations.</li>
<li>Documentation discipline: every configuration change is documented, every evidence artifact is captured, every deviation from the SOP is noted.</li>
<li>Troubleshooting: when Conditional Access blocks legitimate users, when Sentinel data connectors go unhealthy, or when WDAC blocks a required application, you can diagnose and resolve without waiting for escalation.</li>
