πŸ‘‹ Hi, I’m Hyginus Obi β€” Microsoft 365, Endpoint & Security-Focused IT Professional

I’m an IT professional with a strong focus on Microsoft 365 security, Cyber Essentials readiness, and Microsoft Intune endpoint management, with additional experience in software testing and quality assurance.

My core strength is combining secure configuration, compliance awareness, and reliable IT service delivery with a structured, testing-led mindset. This allows me to document, assess, and support systems that are not only functional, but secure, auditable, and user-safe β€” particularly in public-sector and regulated environments.


πŸ” Core Focus Areas

Microsoft 365 Security & Compliance

  • Identity and access control (MFA, Conditional Access, admin roles)
  • Email security, endpoint protection, and audit logging
  • Security baselines aligned with Cyber Essentials principles
  • Audit-ready documentation and safe evidence handling

Cyber Essentials Readiness

  • Control-by-control mapping aligned with NCSC guidance
  • Structured gap analysis and remediation tracking
  • Evidence preparation for assessments and audits
  • Compliance-focused security thinking (not just tooling)

Microsoft Intune Endpoint Management

  • Secure device enrolment and onboarding concepts
  • Compliance policies and posture-based access
  • Configuration profiles and baseline enforcement
  • Application deployment and lifecycle management
  • Structured troubleshooting and incident handling

πŸ“Œ See pinned repositories for practical, documented examples.


πŸ§ͺ Added Strength: Testing & Quality Assurance

Alongside my core IT and security focus, I bring a testing and QA background that strengthens how I approach systems and services:

  • Manual and exploratory testing mindset
  • API validation and basic automation exposure
  • Clear test case design and defect documentation
  • Security-aware testing aligned with OWASP principles
  • Strong documentation and evidence-driven thinking

This background helps me:

  • Identify issues early
  • Reduce configuration and deployment errors
  • Improve system reliability and user experience

Ways of Working

🌍 Open to Opportunities

I’m interested in UK-based and remote roles within:

  • IT Technical Services / EUC
  • Microsoft 365 & Intune administration
  • Security-aware IT support
  • Public-sector and regulated environments

I’m particularly motivated by roles where security, compliance, and reliable service delivery matter as much as technology.
