Summary
Mike Bowie is an infrastructure consultant and people-first technology leader with 16 years of experience designing resilient, automated platforms for startups, non-profits, and enterprise environments. He marries hands-on architecture—cloud-to-datacenter migrations, IaC-driven platform builds, zero-trust segmentation, and CI/CD automation—with executive experience scaling engineering teams and operational processes. Known for eliminating toil, he favors transparent, accountable workflows and measurable outcomes while advocating open source and DevOps principles. His recent work includes rebuilding secure, highly segmented learning platforms for correctional settings and scaling bi-coastal high-availability systems for call centers. Mike keeps an engineer’s curiosity—often creating the automation “snafu” he then refines—and balances that with unusual personal touches like signing emails by hand and leading a Friday Hawaiian-shirt culture. Based in Escondido, CA, he’s available for consulting and contract engagements that require pragmatic, mission-focused infrastructure leadership.
