Steve Kay, an experienced IT Professional from Hampshire.

PROFILE

I bridge the gap between complex business challenges and high-performance technical solutions. With over 20 years of experience across the Microsoft ecosystem, I specialize in architecting, designing, and delivering enterprise-grade solutions that drive digital transformation and operational efficiency.

My approach combines deep technical "hands-on" expertise with strategic oversight. Whether leading the transition of global user bases (BCG), creating strategic software architecture for regulatory bodies (FCA), or architecting hybrid cloud environments for global energy leaders (Shell), I focus on scalability, security, and long-term value.

Why work with me:

• Strategic Vision: I don’t just build tools; I build roadmaps. I have a proven track record of advising C-suite stakeholders on architectural best practices and future transformation plans.

• Full-Stack Depth: I remain deeply technical, with active expertise in Azure DevOps, C#, .NET, Angular, and Cognitive Services/AI.

• Leadership: I am a trusted strategic and technical advisor and passionate Community of Practice lead who thrives on mentoring teams and fostering a culture of technical excellence.

Core Expertise:

• Cloud & Infrastructure: Azure Strategy, Cloud-Native Design, Hybrid Architectures, Azure DevOps (CI/CD).

• Microsoft Ecosystem: M365, SharePoint (Online/On-Prem), Power Platform, Windows Server.

• Development: Full-Stack Engineering (C#, .NET, Angular), Xamarin (iOS), API Design.

• Strategic Leadership: Digital Transformation Roadmaps, Governance, Stakeholder Management, Enterprise Architecture.

I am always interested in discussing how emerging technologies, particularly AI and Cloud Automation, can be leveraged to solve the next generation of enterprise challenges.
