Top SchoolMichael Asper is a Staff Software Engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in systems and security engineering, currently driving platform reliability and GitOps at Twilio. He has deep hands-on expertise migrating organizations to Kubernetes (EKS), operationalizing ArgoCD, building CI/CD pipelines, and implementing runtime and infrastructure security controls across AWS, GCP, and Azure.
