Just a nerd, with a stage.
I am Fabio. I have spent years deep in the Microsoft Modern Workplace: Microsoft 365, Azure, Intune and security ☁️. My favourite trick is taking the complicated stuff and making it simple enough that people actually use it.
That is also why I got on a stage 🎤. I speak at events, stream live, host a podcast and teach as a Microsoft Certified Trainer. Passing on what I figure out is the best part of my week, and it keeps me sharp too.
You will recognise my work by the emojis. I even drop them straight into Conditional Access policy names and Intune settings, on purpose, so the Microsoft cloud stays approachable whether it is your first policy or your thousandth 🚀. Bringing everyone along, from complete beginner to seasoned pro, is the whole point.
Consulting and training, making content, and running goldenmaster.cloud and the Modern Nerdplace community.
Went from doing the work to talking about it: speaking, streaming, and picking up my Microsoft Certified Trainer badge.
Fell for the Microsoft cloud early and never really stopped nerding out.
The stuff with my name on it.

Notes from the trenches.
Most of what I write these days lives on goldenmaster.cloud 📝: real world Microsoft 365, Intune and Entra, written down so you can skip the headache I already had.
Break the Glass Securely
A controlled failsafe account for your tenant, done right and across clients.
Wait, standard users can do WHAT now?!
An Intune enrollment gap on Windows, and how to close it.
Autopilot: one framework to manage them all
A device lifecycle you can actually keep consistent.
Wrapping up OneDrive
The OneDrive settings I standardise on, and why.
