Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Hoyt is a backend software and DevOps engineer with nine years focused on cloud-native platforms and a much longer career rooted in ASIC physical design, bringing rare cross-domain depth from hardware to distributed systems. Based in Seattle, he has built CI/CD and declarative PaaS tooling at Starbucks, led backend and DevOps efforts at Shujinko and Perygee, and now contributes engineering leadership at Vesal Security. He excels at automating complex operational workflows—especially around CI/CD, Kubernetes, Terraform, and Golang—while keeping security and auditability front and center. That blend of rigorous hardware engineering background and modern cloud platform experience gives him a pragmatic systems perspective useful for solving thorny performance, reliability, and compliance challenges.
