Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Halligan is a Director of Platform and seasoned infrastructure engineer with decades of hands-on experience building and operating production systems for startups and mid-sized companies. He blends deep systems and DevOps expertise—Terraform, Pulumi, Kubernetes, ArgoCD and Go—with practical security and compliance experience (including ISO 27001 and customer penetration testing). Michael has a track record of reducing boilerplate and tech debt, improving developer experience, and scaling containerized microservices across global teams. A serial operator and entrepreneur, he co-founded a managed services firm and has repeatedly bootstrapped early-stage companies into robust, automated platforms. Based in Istanbul, he still delights in tinkering with code and plays mediocre percussion when not optimizing CI/CD pipelines.
