Summary
Michael R is a Cloud Specialist with 11 years of experience designing and operating secure, cost-efficient AWS and GCP infrastructures for healthcare, logistics, and media. He blends deep IaC expertise in Terraform and Pulumi with Kubernetes and CI/CD automation to drive zero-downtime migrations and measurable reliability gains (e.g., 40% reduction in node instability and $100K/month in savings). Michael has led cross-cloud migrations and standardized Terraform modules to reduce configuration drift and deployment risk while enabling AI initiatives like LLM deployments on AWS Bedrock. He also codes at the edge—working with TypeScript, Rust, and microcontroller platforms—which informs pragmatic, performance-minded infrastructure choices. Founder of Bee Underground, he applies AI and data modeling to ecological problems, reflecting a systems-first approach to anticipating operational risk. Based in Dallas, GA, he’s open to opportunities that combine cloud optimization, responsible AI adoption, and long-lived system design.
