Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Hoitomt is a Staff Software Engineer with 11+ years of experience architecting and operating scalable, production-ready systems across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments. He has led large migrations and infrastructure-as-code programs (Terraform/Ansible) and improved reliability and security posture—driving a 90% reduction in known vulnerabilities and building observability and test coverage from zero to over 5,000 tests. Comfortable bridging technical and business worlds, he regularly translates complex engineering tradeoffs for product managers and stakeholders across healthcare, adtech, e-commerce, and manufacturing. He’s hands-on with Kubernetes, Helm, ArgoCD, GitHub Actions, and multi-cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/vSphere), and has run 24/7 on-call operations for core SaaS services. Unusually for a senior cloud engineer, his background includes mechanical engineering and manufacturing leadership, giving him practical systems-thinking and process-improvement instincts that inform both tooling and operational playbooks.
