Steve Hurtuk

Solutions Architect | DevOps Engineer | Cloud Strategist

Welcome to hurtuk.io – the digital home of Steve Hurtuk, a Solutions Architect with a decade of experience in IT engineering and deep roots in DevOps, data engineering, and cloud strategy.

By day, I lead cloud architecture and strategic planning at Progressive Insurance, serving as a Cloud Capability Leader across dozens of teams. My work spans secure, scalable infrastructure design using tools like AWS, Azure, GCP, Snowflake, Terraform, Kubernetes, and Kafka.

With a background that spans data engineering, systems automation, and event-driven architecture, I’ve played key roles in enterprise transformations, platform standardization, and cloud migration initiatives. I thrive at the intersection of business value and technical innovation whre I build strong stakeholder relationships and guiding teams through complex problem-solving and implementation.

But this site? It’s about building something new.

As AI and machine learning reshape the future of tech, I’m diving in and learning from the ground up while sharing what I discover. Whether it’s applying ML to different architecture projects, experimenting with LLMs, or building practical tools that bridge data and automation.
