Microsoft Cloud Specialist in Copenhagen
I am Davor Smajilovic, a Copenhagen-based IT professional whose work has centred on Microsoft's cloud and endpoint stack: Microsoft 365, Azure, Microsoft Intune and Entra ID, together with the identity, security and networking layers around them.
I hold Microsoft Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900), Microsoft 365 Fundamentals (MS-900) and Microsoft Azure AI Fundamentals (AI-900) among 17 professional certifications, but most of what I know comes from running these services in real environments with real users and real deadlines.
- 15+ years of professional IT experience
- AZ-900, MS-900 and AI-900 certified, 17 certifications in total
- Around 500 users migrated to Microsoft Intune
- Hybrid environments with on-premises Active Directory
Microsoft 365
Microsoft 365 is the service layer most users actually experience, so it is where support pressure lands first. I have worked with Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive across organisations from around 50 users up to environments of 5000+. For the IT support side of keeping a tenant running day to day, I have written that up separately.
That includes migrations, tenant clean-up, licence and access review, mailbox and sharing issues, and the everyday reality of keeping a tenant's configuration matching what the business believes it is. Lately that work increasingly includes Copilot adoption — I have written about everyday Microsoft Copilot workflows that actually save time.
- Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive
- Tenant configuration, licensing and access review
- Microsoft 365 migrations and post-migration support
- Microsoft 365 Copilot readiness and adoption
Microsoft Azure
On the Azure side my work has been mainly around identity, hybrid connectivity and the infrastructure services that sit underneath a modern workplace, rather than large-scale application platform engineering — I would rather be precise about that than oversell it.
I am AZ-900 certified and comfortable with the cost and architecture conversation: what genuinely belongs in Azure, what is cheaper to keep on-premises, and how to phase a migration safely. My hybrid cloud migration strategy and eight-step plan explains that sequence.
Microsoft Intune
Intune is where endpoint management becomes something a support organisation can actually scale. I have run device compliance policies, app deployment and provisioning so a new hire's machine is usable on day one rather than day five. For a product-focused write-up of that work, see my Microsoft Intune Consultant page.
The largest of these was a migration of around 500 users to Intune, which I have written about in detail — including the parts that did not go smoothly.
- Device enrolment, provisioning and compliance policies
- Application deployment and update management
- Windows endpoint configuration at scale
- Migration from traditional device management to Intune
Microsoft Entra ID
Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) has become the real security boundary in most organisations, and a large share of the 2nd and 3rd line tickets I have handled ultimately lived here: sign-in failures, MFA registration, group and role assignment, guest access and hybrid sync. For a deeper, identity-focused write-up, see my Microsoft Entra ID Consultant page.
I have worked with Entra ID in both cloud-only and hybrid setups where on-premises Active Directory still holds the authoritative objects.
- Identity lifecycle, groups and role assignment
- MFA rollout and sign-in troubleshooting
- SSO and application access
- Hybrid identity with on-premises Active Directory
Hybrid Cloud
Very few Danish organisations are purely cloud or purely on-premises, and the interesting problems live in between: directory sync, legacy applications that expect a domain controller, file shares mid-migration and network paths that assume the office is the centre of the world.
I have supported that in-between state rather than only the finished picture, which is usually what a hiring organisation actually needs.
Security & Identity
Conditional Access is the tool I reach for most on the security side, because it lets identity carry the policy instead of the network cable. Done carelessly it locks out the CFO on a Sunday, so I favour staged rollouts, report-only mode and named break-glass accounts.
Alongside that: MFA coverage, privileged access hygiene, device compliance as an access condition, and making sure the security model is documented well enough that someone else can maintain it.
- Conditional Access policy design and staged rollout
- MFA and passwordless adoption
- Device compliance as an access condition
- Access reviews and privileged account hygiene
