Michael Davis is a Software Architect - AWS | Kubernetes | Geospatial | Java & Golang | Insurtech at Insurity. Colleagues describe them as "I’ve had the good fortune of working alongside some amazingly talented individuals and can confidently say Michael Davis is sitting in the top tier of that list. He’s quite humble and I’m not sure whether he recognizes how rare a talent he is. On a daily basis Michael concurrently plays the roles of Senior Architect, SRE, DevOps and Principal Engineer. Operating like this requires a high level of situational awareness and Michael’s instincts are simply unmatched. It’s most obvious whenever there is a critical issue in support. Moreover, Michael can rapidly get up to speed in any codebase. He’s transferred to entirely different departments working on new products/code, and walks away a trusted Advisor/SME. Java, Postgres, PostGIS, Spark, GeoTrellis, Closure, Python, Javascript, Express, Mongo, AWS (All The Things), you name it. Michael sets such a great example for our team and we’re extremely lucky to have him." and "Michael is an incredibly skilled developer who has great instincts. There’s a lot of art to software development and Michael is great at the balancing act of doing things the right way and actually shipping software. He’s good at putting his foot down to make sure we do things right, whether that’s clean architecture or being responsive to our customers — but he’s not dogmatic, doesn’t let an ego get in the way, and doesn’t over-engineer solutions. If there’s a fire, Michael is our go to team member to not only figure out what’s wrong, but work tirelessly to see the fix through. He’s incredibly dependable, and you always know that if he says he’s got something covered then it’s guaranteed to get done, and get done well. I worked with Michael for four and a half years and would recommend him in a heartbeat."
