Seniorš
Top SchoolMichael Hicks is a Site Reliability Engineering Team Lead with 11 years of hands-on experience building and operating Unix/Linux networking and cloud infrastructure. He progressed from systems engineering and hardened Solaris deployments to leading SRE at Joyent, specializing in deep-dive troubleshooting, automation, and production-grade operations. Comfortable with Perl, Ruby, CFEngine and tooling for deployment and monitoring, he bridges classic sysadmin skills with modern cloud practices. Based in Winter Gardens, CA, he pairs a Mathematics & Computer Science background from UCSD with a curiosity for embedded and network-layer problems few SREs still touch. Colleagues rely on him for solving the gnarly, low-level faults that others escalate rather than resolve.
