About Me
I’m Mike Hacker, an Azure Specialist at Microsoft focused on helping US State and Local Government organizations modernize with Azure.
I work directly with government IT leaders and developers across Ohio and Michigan — including the City of Cleveland, City of Detroit, County of Cuyahoga, and State of Michigan — to adopt cloud solutions that improve services for citizens.
