Michael Klishin is a Senior Staff Software Engineer with 19 years building and leading work on messaging and streaming systems, currently driving RabbitMQ core and Tanzu RabbitMQ at Broadcom/VMware. He blends deep expertise in distributed systems, Erlang/Elixir and increasingly Rust, with hands-on contributions across broker internals, client libraries in many languages, plugins, docs and operations. Michael has led cross-functional teams and coordinated large external contributor communities while designing next-generation RabbitMQ features (3.13/4.0+), including multi-DC replication and disaster recovery. A prolific open-source maintainer and founder of ClojureWerkz, his contributions span widely used projects such as RabbitMQ, Bunny, Pika and rebar3, and include both low-level protocol work and usable tooling. He pairs product-facing work with runbook-level troubleshooting and RCA in production, and has a track record of shipping commercial features and Kubernetes-focused improvements. Based in Vancouver, he also quietly maintains infrastructure cookbooks and build tooling that many projects rely on, reflecting a pragmatic ops-to-core-engineering breadth.
