Micah Mayo is a Software Engineer IV based in Portland, Oregon with 11 years of experience building cloud-native, highly available systems and leading teams through product delivery. He specializes in backend engineering with a strong Elixir/Phoenix background, having driven migrations to Kubernetes, optimized CI for Elixir to cut build times by 90%, and shipped AIOps features at PagerDuty that reduce alert fatigue. Micah has led cross-functional initiatives as a tech lead—designing GraphQL APIs, CI/CD pipelines, and AWS-native services—while mentoring engineers and shaping engineering practices via RFCs and ADRs. He pairs pragmatic execution with a curiosity for developer ergonomics, introducing code formatting and static analysis into shared templates. Before engineering, he brought user-focused perspective from human services work, which informs his collaborative approach to solving hard problems. Colleagues rely on him for reliable delivery, thoughtful trade-offs, and steady technical coaching across the stack.
