Mike Branski is a Senior DevOps Engineer with 16+ years of hands-on experience designing secure, scalable systems and shepherding migrations across cloud-native stacks. He’s driven measurable impact—building load test environments that yielded a 217x performance improvement and leading cross-team AWS, CI/CD, and IaC migrations at enterprise scale. Equally comfortable in Node.js, Python, Ruby and containerized microservices, he coaches engineering teams to adopt observability, infrastructure-as-code, and repeatable deployment patterns. Mike pairs a developer’s curiosity (early career as a founder and mentor) with production-grade operational rigor, keeping SOC-2 and security requirements front and center. Based in Milwaukee, he’s now applying his DevOps craft to AI-driven construction tooling at Trunk Tools while remaining an advocate for AI used for human benefit. Colleagues know him as adaptable and empathetic—a leader who throws interesting problems at teams and helps them solve them.
