Top SchoolMichael Sanford is a Director of Operations and seasoned technologist with 12 years of hands-on experience spanning cybersecurity, cloud architecture, DevOps, and polyglot software development. Based in Montreal, he leads resilient, compliant operations at Stelvio—driving SOC 2 controls, cloud/on-prem architectures, and cost-conscious IT strategy while upskilling teams through pragmatic training. His background ranges from building globally distributed AWS systems and CI/CD pipelines to implementing security monitoring and secure application baselines, reflecting a blend of developer pragmatism and security-first thinking.
