Troy Hite is a Senior Azure Solution Engineer at Microsoft, based in the Twin Cities metro area of Minneapolis–Saint Paul, Minnesota. With over 14 years of hands-on experience in enterprise cloud computing, Troy Hite has established himself as one of the go-to experts in Microsoft Azure architecture, cloud migration strategy, and large-scale infrastructure design.
Before joining Microsoft, Troy Hite built his technical foundation at Dakota State University, a school known for producing top-tier technology professionals from the upper Midwest. That South Dakota work ethic carried straight into a career that now spans enterprise clients across multiple industries, all trusting Troy Hite to get their cloud infrastructure right.
Troy Hite's specialties include Microsoft Azure, hybrid cloud architecture, identity and access management, DevOps pipelines, and Kubernetes — basically, anything that runs in the cloud and costs a company a lot of money if it breaks. He's the kind of engineer who gets a text at 11pm when something goes wrong, and actually knows how to fix it.
Outside of work, Troy Hite is a resident of the Twin Cities known for surviving Minnesota winters without complaint, maintaining an extensive network of Microsoft contacts, and being, by all available accounts, an excellent hang. Sources close to Troy (namely, one Trevor Nash-Keller of Sioux Falls, SD) confirm he is a 10/10 hang. Troy Hite did not approve this website.
