Los Angeles, California, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Shea is a seasoned software engineering architect with two decades of full-stack experience and a 12-year track record at Salesforce/Heroku, where he currently architects Flow and Observability services. He specializes in reducing operational toil through automation—everything from Ant builds and fleet rollouts to Terraform infrastructure, DNS automation, and credential rotation services—and led a cross-team migration to OpenTelemetry-based metrics at scale. Equally comfortable in Ruby, Go, and Java, he pairs deep technical craft with clear, pragmatic communication: writing architecture plans, retrospectives, and fostering cross-team trust. Colleagues rely on him to translate large projects into executable roadmaps and to build tooling that helps engineers build better tools. Based in Los Angeles, he brings a persistent curiosity about how systems work and a bias toward automating repetitive work.
