🤩
RockstarMike Primm is a seasoned system firmware architect and technical strategist with over three decades of experience building and modernizing hybrid hardware and cloud-native software systems. Currently at AMD, he has a track record as CTO and lead engineer across startups and enterprise companies—designing embedded firmware, device drivers, high-scale management software, and serverless SaaS platforms. He combines low-level systems expertise in C/C++ and Linux kernel work with modern cloud stacks (AWS/GCP, TypeScript serverless) and operational discipline around CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code. Mike has driven productization from prototype hardware sensors to large-scale system management for exascale supercomputers, and he’s maintained a pragmatic focus on dependency hygiene and concurrency fixes in open-source projects like the popular Dynmap Minecraft mapping plugin. Known for shifting legacy products onto modern architectures, he also manages IP and patent strategy, reflecting a rare mix of hands-on engineering, product foresight, and corporate-level technical stewardship. Based in Austin, he remains actively interested in blending practicing-engineer work with high-level architecture and product strategy.
