Top SchoolMike Blockley is a senior software engineer with 12 years of experience building reliable, scalable systems across music and betting industries, currently at StubHub after seven years leading platform and compliance engineering at Spotify. He blends deep systems programming skills in Lisp, Haskell, Erlang, and C with pragmatic *nix administration to design backup, access-control, and SOX/SOC-1 compliance tooling for large distributed services. Mike has led Backstage catalog implementation and runbooks, mentored engineers from junior to mid levels, and helped commercialize internal platforms by bridging product, business, and operations. His background includes modernizing legacy systems—migrating Delphi applications to Linux and introducing CI/CD, containerization and nightly automated testing—to improve fault tolerance and developer velocity. Comfortable across infrastructure, databases (Cassandra, Bigtable), and developer tooling, he has a track record of turning operational complexity into auditable, maintainable systems. Based in New York with a computer science degree from Victoria University of Wellington, he combines engineering rigor with an unusual mix of functional-language expertise and hands-on production ops.
