Top SchoolMichael Wright is a seasoned VP of Engineering with 13 years of experience building and operating large-scale distributed systems, now leading engineering at Ambient Property Technologies. He began as a .NET developer and has evolved into a polyglot practitioner and manager fluent in JVM languages (Java, Scala, Kotlin), Go, and Python, with deep hands-on expertise in AWS, Docker, Cassandra, PostgreSQL, and messaging systems.

He combines strong systems architecture instincts with practical developer tooling habits (using containers even for local build tools) and a history of mentoring as an adjunct professor. Based in Utah, he brings a pragmatic, ops-aware leadership style that bridges research, platform engineering, and product delivery.
