Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Copenhafer is a seasoned software engineering leader and business owner with over a decade delivering mission-critical systems for U.S. government and commercial clients. He blends deep hands-on expertise in search technologies, enterprise identity and single-sign-on, J2EE portals, and full-stack development with recent specialization as an AWS architect building serverless and Kubernetes-based platforms. Michael has led engineering teams, authored devops frameworks and open-source components (notably GTAS for passenger targeting), and integrated robust security tooling across cloud pipelines. Comfortable from low-level ETL and text extraction to front-end React experiences, he’s equally at home optimizing big-data JVM workloads and designing reusable connectors for diverse data sources. Based in the DC-Baltimore area, he pairs practical operational experience with an academic foundation in computer science from UC San Diego and UVA, and a knack for turning complex requirements into auditable, production-ready systems.
