About Jean-Frédéric

Passionate about new technologies, I stay informed about the latest developments and trends in both professional and large enterprise environments, as well as for individuals and home automation.
I am self-taught and enjoy teaching others what I have learned, sharing knowledge, and helping others grow.
An engineer by training, I advise and develop infrastructure solutions based on Microsoft technologies.
Specializing in "Core Infrastructure" (on-premise Windows Server services) around Active Directory, identity, security, messaging, and security, I have become a reference in this field and for associated issues.
Driven by the need to automate as much as possible, my experience has allowed me to develop skills in PowerShell and use it as a tool for our clients' IT systems.
My expertise in Exchange Server (OnPrem) naturally led me to M365 solutions, where I trained and evolved in the complexities of hybrid environments and the strong relationships between external and internal systems.

I assist clients with key themes:
- Evolution of an on-premise infrastructure to Azure Cloud IaaS (Move to Cloud)
- Consulting on the development of a migration strategy for Microsoft infrastructure components
- Implementation of technical solutions for identity hybridization (MIM, AADConnect, Azure AD, ...)
- Securing on-premise messaging flows (Exchange) to/from O365 (SPF/DKIM/DMARC/MTA-STS/DANE)
- Data, identity, and application governance in M365 (Teams, EXO, AAD, ...)
- Migration of legacy infrastructure to modern solutions (ADFS/OAUTH2/SAML/Kerberos, ...)

    CONSULTING AND AUDITS
    January 2023 - Today (3 years and 5 months)
    Leveraging years of experience with numerous clients, I have built a solid technical foundation combined with a substantial network. I have therefore embarked on the adventure of independence by creating my own infrastructure consulting firm specializing in Microsoft technologies.
    I offer my clients the benefit of my years of experience and the multitude of environments, gaining diversity and richness from client infrastructures.

    SERVICES:
    • CONSULTING : Understanding needs and developing scenarios
    • AUDIT : Analyzing existing environments and identifying improvement indicators and associated workload
    • EVOLUTION : Technical and technological watch of the latest trends and advancements in Microsoft tools
    • TROUBLESHOOTING : Remediation of technical issues and emergency "firefighter" assistance
    • GOVERNANCE : Reviewing current usage methodologies and processes to improve and adapt them
    • TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE : Execution of technical tasks (HLD and LLD) for rapid implementation

    Following the merger of our two companies, Ai3 is integrated into TALAN SOLUTIONS to provide expertise and technical strength in Microsoft solutions. TALAN SOLUTIONS now benefits from former Ai3 collaborators, experts in Microsoft technologies, to meet client technical requirements, while leveraging TALAN SOLUTIONS' consulting strength. I assist clients with key themes:
    - Evolution of an on-premise infrastructure to Azure Cloud IaaS (Move to Cloud)
    - Consulting on the development of a migration strategy for Microsoft infrastructure components
