Hey, I'm Zab! đ
I'm currently an Endpoint Engineer @ Octapharma AG, where I work with two other engineers and a Product Owner to manage and optimize endpoint infrastructure for a fully global enterprise spanning the US, Europe, Mexico, Canada, Russia, Australia, China, and more. I'm responsible for ensuring the efficiency, security, and functionality of over 14,000 devices while driving innovation in endpoint management and improving user experience.
I also maintain stay-intune.com â a website curating all sorts of useful resources for Intune and Endpoint Engineering.
But I didn't start this way...
Why I chased technology in the before times...
I've been interested in technology since I was a kid. Being a 90s baby, I was exposed to technology through things like the Nintendo GameBoy, but in the early 2000s I got my first computerâa dinky little eMachines that my mother could afford at the local Walmart.
With no internet, I tinkered with everything this little Windows XP machine could do. I eventually joined any club in school I could find that had internet accessâand eventually began trying my hand at repairing hardware such as faulty Xbox 360's or malware-infested clunker laptops. These little experiments in my teenage years got me to chase a career in IT, and it's been my life ever since.
My Approach
This passion has taken me through life, and I've always had the same approach:
Make it make sense
Break down complexity into understandable pieces
Make it useful
Build solutions for the common person
Respect the craft
Honor the technology and its possibilities

Beyond Work
I maintain a somewhat structured routine, balancing between my relationships, my personal labs and tinkering, my occasional YouTube rabbit hole, deep diving into single player video games, and using my dog as an excuse to walk 1-2 miles around the neighborhood.
