Summary
Michele Fattoruso is a Lead Software Engineer based in Naperville, Illinois with nine years of hands-on experience building resilient, cost-conscious cloud and distributed systems. He progressed from systems and CI work at Fermilab to shaping production reliability and test infrastructure at The Washington Post, where his efforts cut deployments regressions and slashed cloud costs dramatically. Now at Fannie Mae he leads engineering efforts with a focus on scalable APIs, concurrency-safe designs, and high code coverage practices. Michele blends practical DevOps automation (Jenkins, AWS CodePipeline/CodeBuild, Lambdas, SQS) with deep troubleshooting of streaming systems like Kafka, and he brings a developer-educator mindset from university teaching and research. Notably, his background spans low-level networking and hands-on hardware repair, giving him uncommon empathy for operational realities and performant system design.
