About
Who I am
I'm Adam Powell, a security and automation engineer behind Ironwright. I build tools that sit close to the work IT teams and MSPs actually do: catching sensitive data before it leaks, watching systems that quietly fail, and removing the manual steps that eat a technician's day.
My work spans threat-intelligence aggregation, data-loss prevention for AI assistants, Microsoft 365 and Exchange administration, and the migration and monitoring tooling that keeps client environments healthy. I ship software that holds up in production and keeps getting better with each release.
I work where security, automation, and real-world IT operations meet, building for teams that want tools that are tested, documented, and built to last. If that sounds like your work, let's talk.
