Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Osterlie is a senior software development engineer with 10 years of professional experience and a 20+ year history of evolving legacy systems into modern architectures. Based in Minneapolis, he has led teams through cloud and microservice migrations, prototyped Kubernetes-based deployments, and driven API-first designs using Spring, JPA/Hibernate and REST. Michael pairs hands-on development—debugging C++ rules engines and reverse-engineering proprietary binary formats—with technical leadership in planning, hiring, and managing offshore teams. He has a proven track record modernizing long-lived Java desktop applications into web-based solutions and exploring graph databases like OrientDB to solve complex data problems. Colleagues know him for blending practical engineering with disciplined agile practices and for quietly tackling the hard interoperability and migration challenges others avoid.
