Summary
Mike Henry is an Infrastructure Automation Engineer and Certified Kubernetes Administrator with over a decade of experience designing and operating cloud-native platforms for FinTech and retail at scale. He leads platform and DevSecOps initiatives, building GitOps-driven multi-region AWS/EKS deployments and automated Terraform pipelines that enable single-PR, multi-regional rollouts for high-traffic applications. A polyglot developer and systems architect, he has hands-on experience from Erlang/OTP to Go, Elixir, C++ and Java EE, and has built production-grade stateful solutions including CockroachDB clusters and kSQLDB on Kubernetes. Mike blends deep Linux and infrastructure automation skills with Lean/Agile leadership—holding ScrumMaster certification and a long history of shepherding predictable iterative delivery. Notably, he pairs security-first service mesh integrations (Istio with Venafi/Cert-Manager and mTLS) with practical CI/CD tooling (GitHub Actions/GitLab CI) to deliver hardened, observable platforms.
