Mikey helped lead the Healthcare.gov rescue, for which he was featured on the cover of TIME magazine. Afterwards, President Obama appointed him Deputy Chief Information Officer of the United States. Part of this involved Mikey being charged with establishing the United States Digital Service (USDS) to bring America’s top technologists into government and solve its hardest and most pressing IT challenges.
Prior to USDS, Mikey served as one of the earliest Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) at Google. There, he spent 8 years growing and managing a team of SREs – the kind of engineer responsible for ensuring one of the world’s most ubiquitous websites is safe and functioning, 24/7/365.
