Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Fettis is a Lead DevOps Engineer based in the Greater Chicago Area with 11 years of hands-on experience building and securing cloud-native infrastructure. He has deep expertise across Splunk, AWS, Chef, Jenkins, Docker orchestration, and F5 iRules, and has spoken at Splunk events including a 2019 keynote and a 2014 conference presentation. Michael’s background spans site reliability, core systems, and cloud security roles at companies like Allstate, Uptake, Cars.com, and Gateless, where he combines observability and automated pipelines to detect anomalies and harden production environments. Early work in content management and web development gives him an unusually broad perspective on both user-facing systems and low-level operational tooling. He’s known for applying data-driven monitoring—once using Splunk to detect spider and anomalous traffic across very large datasets—to practical security and reliability problems.
