Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Cardenas is a versatile software engineer with nine years of experience building developer-facing tooling, cloud-native backends, and infrastructure automation across companies like Salesforce and Rackspace. He blends hands-on software development with deep infrastructure knowledge—Kubernetes, OpenShift, AWS serverless, Terraform, and CI/CD—to help engineering teams reliably operate and scale services. At Salesforce he focuses on tooling for cloud, Kubernetes, and service mesh operations; at Rackspace he shipped serverless APIs, Terraform modules, and automation that reduced redundant infrastructure code. Trained as an electrical engineer, he intentionally spans the stack rather than specializing narrowly, which helps him translate systems-level constraints into pragmatic developer tools. Colleagues rely on him to standardize provisioning and diagnostics workflows, and he’s quietly proud of solving the messy parts of cloud ops (like programmatic CloudFormation generation) that make large teams more productive. Based in Rancho Cucamonga, CA, he thrives in roles that let him build internal platforms that amplify other engineers’ impact.
