About me

Hi, I'm Enric Díaz. I started in IT at 15 and learnt the trade from the bottom: answering calls, managing inventory and doing on-site support, then systems administration, where I specialised in cloud and automation. I've led Workplace teams, and today I work on identity and collaboration in Microsoft 365 for a multinational.

What I am proudest of, and luckiest about, is the chances working life has given me, and having had teachers and mentors who taught me how to learn, because they knew IT moves fast. Much of what was new back then has since been replaced; the foundations, and the experience built on them, are what let me look at things with some perspective.

At work, two results that sell themselves. A notification system so that application credentials never expire in silence: not the most complex thing I have done, but among the most valuable. And a licence usage report that runs every month, surfaces the licences nobody is using and tells each country which seats it can reclaim, with the evidence on the same row. Over time, that is real savings for the company.

Short term, I want to keep growing my catalogue of scripts and automations so my effort goes into decisions that help the business rather than day-to-day operations. Medium term, I see myself setting the direction of the Microsoft 365 platform for an organisation of this size, its architecture, security and governance, rather than only operating it.
