Summary
🤩
RockstarJohn Pell is a Sr. Systems Engineer and Active Directory architect with over a decade of hands-on experience designing identity, device management, and secure access solutions for enterprise environments. He combines deep Windows AD, AAD, Intune, SSO/Kerberos and MDM expertise with strong Unix/Linux and macOS administration (and early Apple certification), bridging heterogeneous fleets from servers to iOS. Comfortable scripting in PowerShell and Bash, he contributes to well-known community tooling like the Bash-it framework where he improved completion and platform integration. His background spans private consulting to leadership roles in medical imaging and manufacturing, giving him a pragmatic focus on operational excellence as the core of security. Unusually for an engineer, he also holds a law degree and applies that regulatory and risk-minded perspective to identity and compliance challenges.
