Michael Arnold is a Director of Engineering with a decade of experience leading data and software teams to deliver reliable, production-grade systems across finance, healthcare, and SaaS. He combines hands-on engineering (Python, C#, Java, Perl) with strong delivery practices—CI/CD, Dockerized deployments, event-driven architectures using Kafka—and has rebuilt legacy Perl stacks into modern microservices. Known for turning troubled projects into stable, predictable releases, he coaches teams toward quality-driven practices, automation, and measurable KPIs. He also contributes open-source liturgical tooling in Perl (LectServe) that demonstrates an unusual blend of technical craft and theological scholarship. Based in Nashville, he pairs leadership and mentoring with active involvement in faith and community life, holding an MDiv from Vanderbilt and serving as an ACNA deacon.
