👤
SeniorMichael Mclane is a solutions consultant and seasoned SRE with 18+ years building resilient, container-first developer tooling and automation, currently consulting from Chandler, AZ. He led developer-facing CI/CD and monitoring platforms at Red Hat that migrated thousands of live Kubernetes customers with zero downtime and converted legacy CI systems (including CentOS and Quay) into self-service, open-source SRE suites. Known for practical architecture and runbooks, he designs 24/7 production services with tested rollback paths, vulnerability detection, and Prometheus-based observability. His background spans deep Linux and hosting performance work at GoDaddy—where he saved millions via kernel and NFS optimizations—through to enterprise OpenShift service delivery, giving him a rare blend of low-level systems expertise and platform-level product thinking. Empathetic and methodical, he combines customer-perspective product advocacy with hands-on automation to make complex distributed systems operable and scalable.
