Welcome to my corner of the world wide web - a place where endpoint management, Modern Work, and a healthy dose of curiosity collide. My name is Jesper Nielsen, I am a Technology Provocateur, 9-time Microsoft MVP (2016-2024), and an IT professional who has been rambling within this industry for over 25 years.
I have collected a wide range of experiences across enterprise-level end-user computing, spanning governmental, financial, healthcare, and enterprise organizations. Although my primary focus has always been Windows management and end-user experience, I have a deep passion for everything within reach of end-user devices - from Endpoint Security and Baselining to Cloud PC and Zero Trust.
Microsoft 365 Endpoint Management topics will, obviously, be the main topics of my blog, powered by my professional ramblings, including a mixture of lifehack and other professional experiences.
Expect posts covering Windows 365, Microsoft Intune, Windows Autopilot, Endpoint Security, Microsoft Copilot Cowork, and the ever-changing world of Modern Management. I also explore topics like AI Actions in Windows 11, GitHub Copilot, personal branding, public speaking, and how to use AI tools to enhance your workflow - including Vibe Coding - turning words into code.
My philosophy is simple: learn it to teach it. Throughout my career as Solution Architect and Principal Architect, I have designed and implemented Windows and Workplace solutions for organizations of all sizes.
My blog posts are fueled by my daily work and challenges, but they also reflect my journey to learn new topics and better understand them. What is better than sharing my experience while doing so? It helps me learn, and by sharing my findings - and failures - I hope to inspire you and help your journey move forward.
Along the way, I have learned that sharing knowledge is just as important as acquiring it. Highly inspired by Scott Hanselman’s post from 2006, Do they deserve the gift of your keystrokes? . While the post is nearly 20 years old, its message resonates even stronger today - in an age of AI-assisted everything, intentionally sharing knowledge matters more than ever. This blog is my way of saving keystrokes and giving back to the community that has given me so much.
Building a blog and navigating topics is hard work - this is not a fast task, people. What began as a simple WordPress site in Azure has evolved through multiple iterations, each teaching me something new about web development, content creation, and staying curious.
Every day is an opportunity to create a living masterpiece
The learning curve has been relentless - from mastering Hugo and static site generation, to understanding Git workflows, to embracing AI-assisted development. I have learned to use tools like GitHub Copilot for coding and Microsoft Copilot for writing, exploring how AI collaboration can bring ideas to life faster than ever before. This journey has reinforced my belief that staying curious and continuously learning new skills is essential in our industry.
The rebuild: I moved away from WordPress and rebuilt the whole site using a static website framework, now running as an Azure Static Web App powered by Hugo .
The journey continues, and I invite you to follow along. Explore my Series for curated post collections, browse the Blog for all my ramblings, or follow along via RSS. Curious about how this site came to be? Read the Building my blog series.

I am glad you are here - now let’s nerd out together.
