Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMichael Fitz-payne is an Infrastructure Engineer based in Queensland, Australia with 11 years building reliable distributed systems, networked appliances, and cloud infrastructure. He brings production experience across Go, JavaScript, C, Python, Lua, Ruby and extensive AWS operations, having designed microservices, REST APIs, containerized deployments and custom Linux-based OS work. At Opengear he contributed to Lighthouse 5 and NetOps automation platforms, blending backend, frontend and OS-level engineering, and he now applies that systems-first mindset at Civilized Discourse Construction Kit. His background includes dismantling monoliths into service-oriented architectures, running CI/CD pipelines and event-driven integrations with SQS, Elasticsearch and other third-party services. Comfortable switching between low-level C and OS work and higher-level Go/JS services, he pairs hands-on coding with infrastructure ownership. An experienced scrum master and trainer, he also brings practical team facilitation and knowledge-sharing skills beyond pure engineering.
