About

I build infrastructure that doesn't fail quietly — and I make sure the people who run it understand it.

Kevin Stansberry

Background

I'm an enterprise cloud and infrastructure architect based in the Mid-Atlantic. For over a decade, I've designed and delivered production-grade solutions across Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, Teams Phone, and physical network environments — often under tight timelines and with organizations that can't afford downtime.

My work spans industries including media production, professional services, healthcare, and finance. I've built out everything from greenfield Azure landing zones to on-site network infrastructure for live broadcast operations. Whether the problem is identity, security posture, unified communications, or raw connectivity — I focus on outcomes that hold up when things go wrong.

I approach every engagement as a practitioner first. I write the runbooks, configure the SBCs, review the Conditional Access policies, and stay on-call when a cutover happens at 2 a.m. That's not a sales pitch — it's just how the work gets done right.

How I Work

I don't hand off strategy decks and disappear. My engagements are collaborative — I embed with your team, document what exists, identify gaps, and build the plan alongside the people who have to execute it. I prefer structured sprints over open-ended retainers, and I measure success by what's stable when I leave.

I'm also available for same-day advisory on urgent issues — identity failures, Teams Phone outages, network incidents — where you need a clear head and a fast path to resolution, not a ticket queue.
