I build great workplaces built on trust, where people enjoy what they do and can see the difference their work makes. Over 25 years of IT experience working in cloud computing, managed hosting, manufacturing, and consulting services, I have taken on progressively more responsible roles and delivered results, especially with leading teams and organizations in transformations, building high functioning cultures and turn-around.Leading DevOps transformation has allowed me to help my organization manage the past the pains of technology that had been previously chalked up to the cost of doing modern business, and create dramatic improvements in profitability, operations and end-user satisfaction.DevOps is first and foremost a mindset. Success relies on leading organizations through a lean and agile development process and cultural transformation to build an environment of trust and respect. I navigate that cultural shift, fostering a strong bond of respect between business, development and operations. I’ve found when you create collaborative teams, by encouraging people to get out of their cubes and collocate, work is truly more productive, less stressful and more fun. I am passionate about teaching others, and have worked to plan events such as hackathons and coding dojos.Experience includes: ► Managed cross-functional, international teams of up to 97 people, specializing in leading turn-around transformations.► Extensively implemented industry leading technologies, such as Java, NodeJS, Ansible and Docker, leveraging Agile/Lean techniques (Scrum, Kanban, etc.).► Extensively utilized best practice methodologies like Blue/Green Environments and Push Button-Zero Downtime Deployments.► Track record of instilling processes and procedures improvements, which optimize efficiency and save $millions in resource expenditure.I look forward to connecting with you!✉ michael@mjq.io
