Top SchoolMike Lehner is a Senior Engineering Manager specializing in infrastructure and platform engineering with 12 years of hands-on experience spanning data centers, networking, virtualization, and cloud-native systems. At Zillow he has designed and scaled multi-tenant Kubernetes platforms, led shifts from reactive operations to platform engineering, and driven reliability, CI/CD, and cost-optimization efforts for large-scale production services on AWS. He combines deep systems-level knowledge—from SANs and VMware to databases and container pipelines—with a knack for mentoring senior engineers and building durable teams that operate complex distributed systems. A pragmatic DevOps practitioner and early adopter of container-based CI/CD, he’s known for turning operational pain into self-service platforms and observability that accelerates development velocity.
