Summary
Mike Huot is an Azure Infrastructure and AI Solutions Engineer with 16 years of hands-on experience designing resilient cloud, data center, and observability solutions for healthcare and enterprise customers. He has led infrastructure strategy and migrations, built automation with Terraform, Ansible, Ruby and PowerShell, and drove large-scale changes such as rapid secure remote access scaling during COVID that markedly improved IT satisfaction. As a former technical leader at Children's Minnesota and Principal Product Strategist at OpenNMS, he blends deep operational expertise with product-facing analytics to align technical choices to business outcomes. At Itascapoint he translated that experience into advisory and managed service offerings, and he now helps customers extract value from Microsoft cloud and AI services. Known for contributing practical fixes upstream (e.g., Ansible/NetApp) and mentoring engineers, he combines pragmatic scripting chops with architecture-level thinking. Based in Saint Paul, he brings the perspective of a long-time customer-turned-advisor who emphasizes durable, scalable solutions over short-term fixes.
