Microsoft 365 • Identity • Automation • Infrastructure

Building reliable systems and automating the work around them.

I’m David Wendt, an IT professional focused on Microsoft 365, Entra ID, PowerShell automation, platform operations, and infrastructure engineering. I enjoy turning repetitive operational work into maintainable, repeatable solutions.

About

Enterprise operations with an automation mindset.

My background spans Microsoft 365 administration, identity, Exchange, SharePoint, endpoint management, virtualization, backup and recovery, and application support. I’m especially interested in the space where platform engineering and automation meet.

I use PowerShell and Python to reduce manual effort, integrate APIs, standardize repeatable processes, and make operational work easier to support. In my home lab, I continue that work with VMware, Jenkins, Terraform, networking, and Microsoft cloud technologies.
