Josh Fridey Author Background

 

My name is Josh Fridey and I’m an IT Manager with 15 plus years in the field. At AB Computer, I help teams in agriculture, healthcare, construction, and petroleum run dependable, well structured systems that make work easier. I spend most days working with Microsoft 365, Azure, and Entra. I design and maintain network infrastructure, manage identity, and strengthen cybersecurity so people can do their jobs without fighting their tools. I grew up in the MySpace era.

Because of that, I buy CDs and records, then rip my CDs into a lossless music library that I keep for myself. I stream that library to my devices so I can listen wherever I am, without depending on third-party services. No Read More!
