Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Mortensen is a Lead Software Engineering Architect with over two decades in IT and a decade in senior architecture roles, currently shaping cloud-native, Docker/Kubernetes microservice landscapes at Ørsted. He blends deep .NET expertise (from legacy Framework to .NET 5–7 and .NET Standard) with practical cloud experience across Azure and AWS to deliver resilient, testable systems guided by Onion Architecture, SOLID, and DevSecOps. A pragmatic advocate for greenfield best practices who methodically modernizes legacy estates via patterns like the Strangler Fig, he balances craftsmanship (Clean Code, Framework Design Guidelines) with stakeholder-driven solutions and CI/CD automation. Owner of Geekle and an active clean-code evangelist in open-source, Michael is as comfortable mentoring teams as he is rolling up his sleeves to refactor difficult brownfield codebases.
