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.
goldenmaster.cloud ☁️ →
My Microsoft 365, Intune and Entra blueprint. A knowledge hub for MSPs who want one consistent, deployable baseline across every client tenant, with the reasoning behind every setting spelled out.
nerd.ms 🚀 →
A searchable launcher for every Microsoft admin portal. Hundreds of shortcuts to Azure, Entra, Intune, the Microsoft 365 admin center, Defender, Purview and more, so you stop hunting for the right URL.
Modern Nerdplace 🤝 →
The user group I help run for IT enthusiasts and MSPs. Passionate nerds who do not just manage the tech but embrace and transform it, with a wink to the nerd universe. Meetups, virtual events and blogs where you share your nerdy discoveries with people shaping the future. Get ready to nerd out 🚀✨
Streams, podcast & talks 🎥 →
Live on Twitch, a podcast on Spotify, and talks on stage. Microsoft news, hands on demos and honest takes, like my breakdown of the axios supply chain attack.
The scripts do not stay on my laptop 🧰. I put them on GitHub so you can read them before you run them.
Microsoft-Community-Scripts →
Community scripts for Microsoft admins. PowerShell for Microsoft 365, Intune, Entra, Exchange and SharePoint, one folder per script with a README that tells you where it bites.
Conditional-Access →
Een leuk framework voor Conditional Access. In mijn Blogs kan je mijn beredenering volgen en een stukje instructie.🥰

The rest of what I keep in the open, work in progress included.
Where to find me.
On a stage, on a stream, or in your headphones 🎧. Here is what is coming up, and everywhere I have already been. The rows marked Speaker are sessions I presented myself, 52 of them so far.

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.

The full blog over on goldenmaster.cloud.
The library is the bigger half of it 📚: 160 pages I write and keep up myself, where a setting gets explained instead of listed.
Entra ID baseline
Conditional Access, authentication, identity protection. Per policy: what it blocks, which licence you need for it, and how to get back out.
Intune baseline
Windows and macOS. Enrolment, configuration, compliance, endpoint security and update rings, the way I set them up at customers.
Admin center
The tenant wide switches that decide what everyone else is allowed to do.
Proof, on paper.
The badges behind the talks 🎓. I keep adding to them, because the platform never sits still.
