Ben Michaud is an experienced software engineer and architect with 14+ years delivering full-stack, cloud-native systems and leading teams through complex migrations, DevOps automation, and agile process improvements. He blends deep Java and integration expertise (Kafka, NiFi, Maxwell) with modern cloud and CI/CD toolchains across AWS and Azure, and has repeatedly driven production-ready designs for aerospace, healthcare, and utility customers. As a hands-on mentor and technical lead, he focuses on developer enablement—automation scripts, release hygiene, code reviews, and documentation—to accelerate teams and reduce operational friction. Ben has practical security and compliance experience (ATO work with Keycloak) and a knack for turning legacy data challenges into reliable CDC and integration pipelines. Now consulting and contracting on cloud migration and field-worker workflow platforms, he pairs rigorous engineering fundamentals with a creative problem-solving mindset. Offbeat detail: a self-described “French Dev lost in a strange jungle,” he’s currently enjoying semi-retirement while continuing to architect resilient systems.
