Kim Berg

I started my career in a service desk role, which quickly sparked my interest in how technology is built, operated, and scaled. From there, I moved into data center hosting where I gained a solid understanding of infrastructure, reliability, and what it takes to keep critical environments running. I don’t have any formal education in IT, but I’ve always been a lifelong learner who grows through curiosity, hands‑on experience, and a drive to constantly improve.

Almost a decade ago, I discovered my passion for the cloud and specialized in Microsoft Azure. Since then, I’ve focused on modern Ops, platform engineering, and enabling teams by taking ideas from early concepts into secure, scalable, production‑ready solutions. Over the years, I’ve expanded my expertise across data, AI, and IoT and IIoT, and I most often work with clients in the role of Solution Architect, helping them design and build practical, outcome‑focused architectures tailored to real enterprise needs.

I’ve worked across a wide range of domains including defense, public sector, manufacturing, and energy, which has shaped how I approach architecture, security, and complex enterprise environments. I also contribute to the open‑source and enjoy collaborating with others to advance how we build and deliver modern solutions.

🗣 Sharing knowledge is a big part of who I am. I’m passionate about public speaking and mentoring, and I enjoy helping others grow by making technology more accessible and actionable.

Today, I work with enterprise‑scale AI, data, and IIoT solutions with large companies, turning ideas into real, measurable impact.
