Summary
Michael Hepburn is a seasoned cloud and AI leader with 11+ years at Red Hat, currently serving as Senior Principal Technical Marketing Manager for the AI business unit while retaining senior architect responsibilities. He combines deep open-source architecture experience—spanning containers, cloud-native applications, and secure delivery—with a knack for reducing cognitive load and operational burden to accelerate engineering flow. His background as a consulting cloud application architect and principal architect reflects a practical, delivery-focused approach: Open Source, Secure, Stable, Sorted, Done. Based in Greater Brisbane, he pairs an MSc (IT) from UCL and a BE in Chemical Engineering with hands-on middleware and platform engineering roots, and still enjoys writing small utilities (yes, even Perl) to solve real problems.
