Summary
Mike Plemmons is a Staff Software Engineer with over two decades in IT and more than a decade focused on infrastructure, now applying that depth to cloud-native engineering and platform work. He has led complex migrations and networking redesigns at scale—most notably moving acquired data center servers into AWS, rearchitecting multi-account networking, and modernizing VPN and IP schemes. Comfortable from AIX and Tivoli to Terraform, Ansible, and AWS, he bridges legacy systems and contemporary cloud operations while partnering closely with development teams to resolve production issues. Mike is equally effective as an individual contributor and a team-oriented technical leader who mentors peers and documents repeatable infrastructure processes. Based in Columbus, Ohio, he pairs a pragmatic, operations-first mindset with a continual appetite for learning new IT disciplines. One less obvious strength: decades of hands-on support roles gave him rare end-to-end visibility into how infrastructure decisions impact operators, vendors, and business stakeholders.
