About Mike McMahon

With over 15 years of experience in IT infrastructure, I specialize in designing, deploying, and managing scalable and reliable systems across both on-premises and cloud environments. My focus is on automation, repeatability, and consistency, eliminating manual effort wherever possible and building infrastructure that’s easy to reproduce, audit, and maintain. Core Focus Areas Infrastructure Automation: Expert in Terraform and Ansible, used to automate provisioning and configuration of systems across varied environments. Containerization & Orchestration: Skilled in Docker and Kubernetes, enabling platform-agnostic application delivery and consistent runtime environments. Hybrid Infrastructure: Deep experience with VMware, Azure, and AWS, bridging traditional data centers with modern cloud-native deployments. Monitoring & Observability: Strong background with tools like Zabbix, Prometheus, and Grafana for system health, performance, and uptime assurance. Philosophy & ApproachI focus on building infrastructure that\'s not only resilient but also repeatable and self-documenting through code. I believe automation is the foundation for operational excellence—reducing human error, ensuring compliance, and accelerating delivery cycles for infrastructure changes.Let’s connect if you\'re working on complex systems that demand reliability through automation and efficiency through smart tooling.
