Top SchoolMichael Blaum is a Senior Software Engineer based in the New York City area with three years of professional experience building and operating cloud-native distributed systems. He has delivered security-focused infrastructure for Vault Cloud at HashiCorp, managed large-scale data streaming with Kafka at Viasat, and built Scala data pipelines for ML at Capital One, now applying that background to platform work at Astronomer.
