Michael Sperber is a technical support engineer with eight years of multidisciplinary experience bridging software engineering, IT administration, and operations. He specializes in Level 2/3 support, QA/UAT, and bug triage—regularly using Elasticsearch and SQL to scope issues and collaborating closely with product and engineering teams to drive fixes. At Automattic he built migration services, led a Level 3 team, and automated workflows to improve efficiency; at Plaid he continues to blend customer-facing support with technical investigation. Trained in software engineering (BS) and theater production, he brings strong communication and logistical rigor from large-scale productions to complex technical incidents. Known for focusing on architecture and code quality, he pairs hands-on troubleshooting with an appetite for learning and improving systems behind the scenes.
