Michael Handa is a pragmatic technology and security leader with over two decades of hands-on experience building and scaling cloud-native infrastructure, teams, and security programs. He has repeatedly transformed engineering organizations—growing SRE teams, instituting certification standards, and moving SLAs from the low 90s to near-perfect uptime—while cutting costs through vendor partnerships and automation. Comfortable from EC2 to Kubernetes and Terraform, he blends DevOps rigor with compliance and risk management, having served as CISO and Director of Infrastructure across AWS-centric companies. He’s skilled at turning operational problems into repeatable processes and talent pipelines, having built most of Blue Sentry’s engineering organization within three years. Based in Los Angeles, he pairs a founder’s resourcefulness with enterprise-level governance, often leveraging offshore teams and creative vendor arbitrage to improve coverage and lower TCO.
