Summary
Mike Hockerman is a lead software engineer with 12 years of experience building high-velocity, full-stack systems and leading teams to deliver reliable, production-grade services. Currently at Trava Security, he architects a macroservice TypeScript/Golang platform with Temporal workflows, Kubernetes, and GCP to run resilient, long-running cybersecurity assessments and surface actionable errors to operators. He has a habit of not specializing — moving fluidly between frontend (React/Vite, custom component libraries), backend systems, and infra— and brings that generalist curiosity to pro bono consultancy work for nonprofits through his Wren Software practice. An early-stage engineer at Structural and systems engineer at Cloudflare, he combines startup product instincts with lessons from large-scale service engineering. Based in Indianapolis, he also contributes locally as a board member of Indy Hackers, blending technical leadership with community-building.
