Summary
Mike Jansen is a seasoned Senior Platform Engineer with a multi-decade technical background and a decade focused on cloud-native platform work, now based in Wadsworth, Ohio. He designs and operates resilient AWS and Kubernetes platforms, having led large CDK/TypeScript pipeline builds, multi-account networking with Transit Gateway, and GitOps adoption via Argo CD. Mike has repeatedly been retained for performance on high-stakes engagements and mentors engineers into leadership, reflecting both hands-on delivery and team development strengths. His experience spans gaming-scale architectures (GameLift/ECS) to long-lived healthcare and FDA-compliant systems, illustrating a rare blend of low-latency production ops and compliance-driven engineering. Comfortable across legacy stacks through modern IaC, observability, and load testing, he’s the kind of generalist who both architects strategy and dives into incident response. An underappreciated strength: he routinely builds developer ergonomics—Projen project types, Dev Containers, and pipeline scaffolding—to accelerate team velocity.
