Infrastructure that holds.
Software that ships.
Kusters IT is the one-person consultancy of Steven Kusters: a Microsoft-certified Azure Solutions Architect who designs cloud and hybrid infrastructure for banks, governments, and logistics companies — and builds the applications that run on it.
Two disciplines, one pair of hands
Most consultancies either design platforms or build software. Kusters IT does both — which means the infrastructure is designed by someone who has to live with it as a developer, and the software is built by someone who knows exactly where it will run.
Cloud & hybrid architecture
Azure landing zones, migrations, and hybrid estates that connect what you have to where you're going.

- Windows Server hybrid environments
- Cloud migration strategy and execution
Security & identity
Security engineering grounded in certification and hands-on practice, not checkbox audits.

- Hardening reviews of existing estates
App development
Native mobile and backend development, carried from first commit to production.
- Native iOS (SwiftUI) & Android (Compose)
- Python API backends
- Full lifecycle: design, build, operate
Automation & DevOps
Infrastructure as code and pipelines that make deployments boring — in the best way.
- CI/CD pipeline design
- Infrastructure as code on Azure
- Monitoring and operational tooling
Trusted where downtime isn't an option
A selection of past engagements — environments where infrastructure is regulated, audited, and expected to simply work.
Certified, and kept current
Microsoft certifications across architecture, security, and operations — the full path from server room to cloud.
The person behind the company
Steven Kusters has spent his career making computers do what they're supposed to — from junior system engineer at AXA to cloud solution architect at a Belgian bank. Along the way he picked up the full Microsoft certification path and a conviction that good infrastructure and good software are the same discipline practised at different altitudes.
Kusters IT is deliberately a company of one. No account managers, no hand-offs, no juniors learning on your budget. You get an architect who still reads the logs, writes the code, and answers the phone.
Based in Antwerp; working across Belgium, the Netherlands, and remotely.
Human being with a great interest in making computers do what I want them to do.
Tell me what's not working — or what should exist
Whether it's an Azure estate that needs an architect, a security posture that needs a second pair of eyes, or an app that needs building: the fastest way to find out if I can help is a short conversation.
