I’m Mike Tuszynski, a technology consultant and cloud architect with over 25 years of experience building and scaling engineering organizations from startups to large enterprises. This site, The Cloud Codex, is where I share my journey, technical expertise, and the hard-won lessons I've learned in cloud infrastructure, AI engineering, and technology leadership.
My professional focus lies at the intersection of cloud architecture, advanced AI methodologies, and operational excellence. I'm passionate about architecting resilient, scalable systems and fostering cultures of innovation and continuous learning.
Areas of Expertise
This blog is a living portfolio of my work. It demonstrates my ability to design and implement complex systems, as well as think and communicate strategically. The posts here provide in-depth analysis and practical insights on:
- Cloud Architecture & CI/CD: I share real-world implementations and best practices for building robust CI/CD pipelines across AWS, Azure, and GCP, using tools like Terraform and GitHub Actions. I have experience designing cloud-native solutions that have reduced deployment times by 70% while enhancing security and achieving 99.99% reliability.
- AI & Machine Learning: My content explores the strategic implications of AI, from fine-tuning versus Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to architecting infrastructure for enterprise-grade ML workloads on Kubernetes. I discuss the technical challenges and solutions for topics like GPU cluster architecture, memory optimization, and sustainable AI infrastructure.
- Engineering Leadership: I write about the art of managing technical teams, emphasizing the balance between logical, data-driven approaches and human empathy. My experience includes strategies for navigating the engineering-to-management transition, driving team engagement, and creating a culture of learning and operational excellence.
- DevSecOps: My background includes implementing automated security checks and establishing quality gates that achieve high code coverage and zero critical vulnerabilities.
My Philosophy
I believe the most valuable engineers are those who can deconstruct complex problems, translate technical concepts for business stakeholders, and collaborate effectively. The future of development belongs to those who think strategically and leverage AI as a force multiplier, not just a tool. This site is my way of contributing to that future—by providing value to the technical community and offering a transparent view of my problem-solving approach and leadership philosophy.
