Bart Billiet is a results-driven Lead Architect based in Brussels with nine years of experience designing and delivering large-scale Microsoft and cloud solutions for public-sector environments. He began as a systems engineer, developing deep troubleshooting skills and hands-on expertise in AD, Exchange, SharePoint, VDI and virtualization, and has evolved into a strategic architect focused on identity, hybrid cloud and program-level vision. At Smals he led design and implementation of the Belgian Federal Government Cloud's hybrid identity and collaboration platforms—enabling seamless multi-forest authentication, Azure AD integration and an Office 365 footprint supporting 50K+ daily users—while also driving automation and an MFA product strategy. Known for balancing high-level direction with detailed technical ownership, he has a track record of reducing operational effort through automation (for example, a support bot that cut first-line work by ~30%). He combines strong governance and product thinking with hands-on implementation, making him effective at translating complex requirements into secure, maintainable architectures.
