Michael Priscella is a seasoned engineering leader with 12 years of experience designing resilient, cost-optimized cloud platforms and modernizing infrastructure with Kubernetes and AWS. As a Director of Technology, he drives platform transformation through containerization, infrastructure-as-code, and developer workflow improvements that measurably reduce costs and increase reliability. He has led large migrations—from Heroku and EC2 into Kubernetes and AWS—and restructured Terraform and CI/CD tooling to cut operational overhead and accelerate delivery. Michael pairs strategic vendor and cross-functional partnership skills with hands-on technical execution, having supported acquisitions and enterprise security integrations.
