Michael Warren

Director / Manager of Technology & Software Development // PMP

20+ years building and scaling software organizations. I develop engineering managers who grow high-performing teams, while staying close enough to the code to make decisions that hold up. Cloud infrastructure, release engineering, and .NET modernization — across federal platforms and private-sector growth companies.

01Core Competencies

Architecture

Systems Design & Modernization

I decompose complex legacy systems into independently deployable services using a structured evaluation framework (Rehost → Rearchitect). Every architectural recommendation is traceable to observable outcomes, not preferences.

Leadership

Engineering Organization Development

I build and develop engineering managers who own their teams' growth. Close enough to the code to stay credible — far enough back to let teams lead. Span of control scales; quality doesn't drop.

Problem Solving

Root-Cause Engineering

When production breaks, I chase root causes — not workarounds. Cross-system auth failures, query degradation, deployment flakiness — diagnosed at the infrastructure layer and fixed permanently.

Cloud Infrastructure

AWS & Azure at Scale

EC2, S3, RDS, CloudWatch, Lambda on AWS. Azure and Azure DevOps for full development infrastructure. Observability-first: I build for insight before incidents happen, not after.

Dev Experience

Release Engineering & CI/CD

GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps pipelines, Definition of Done gates, velocity tracking. The investments that compound — small teams moving fast without accumulating technical debt.

Full-Stack

Frontend → Backend → Infrastructure

Angular, React, Blazor on the frontend. .NET Core, C#, Entity Framework on the backend. I pair on hard problems anywhere in the stack — not just review PRs from a distance.
