Founder at TierPoint
Virginia, United States
Summary
👤
SeniorKristopher Turner is a cloud infrastructure founder and hybrid cloud architect with 8+ years of hands-on experience designing and deploying Microsoft Azure, Azure Stack, and Azure Arc solutions for commercial and federal customers. He moved from senior roles at Microsoft and Invoke into product-focused architecture at TierPoint and now leads Hybrid Cloud Solutions, specializing in edge computing, Azure governance, migrations, and secure hybrid operations. Kristopher is known for translating complex on-premises requirements into repeatable cloud patterns—everything from Azure Stack HCI disaster recovery to Kubernetes demos and ASR integrations. He has helped build federal training (Federal Edge Operator Course) and directly supported IoT/AI on Azure Edge, reflecting a rare blend of field deployment and curriculum development. Based in Virginia, he combines practitioner-level systems engineering (System Center, SCCM, SCOM) with modern cloud-native practices, often surfacing tactical fixes that unblock large-scale migrations. Off-hours he jokes that he “builds clouds on the ground…fogs?”—a hint at his pragmatic, hands-on approach to hybrid deployments.
