Michael Irwin is an Application Architect at Virginia Tech who is striving to modernize how software is developed and run on campus by driving the adoption of Docker-based workloads, CI/CD pipelines, the public cloud, single-page applications, and more. As a Docker Captain and Community Leader (meetup organizer), he has the opportunity to share his expertise and experiences with others, but also learn how others are using the latest technologies. When developing, he writes code in Node, Java (Java EE mostly), and JavaScript, but actively contributes to projects written in other languages and frameworks. He's blessed to have a beautiful wife with three daughters and a fourth child on the way!
