LISA: Where systems engineering and operations professionals share real-world knowledge about designing, building, and maintaining the critical systems of our interconnected world.

The LISA conference has long served as the annual vendor-neutral meeting place for the wider system administration community. The LISA14 program recognized the overlap and differences between traditional and modern IT operations and engineering, and developed a highly-curated program around 5 key topics: Systems Engineering, Security, Culture, DevOps, and Monitoring/Metrics. The program included 22 half- and full-day training sessions; 10 workshops; and a conference program consisting of 50 invited talks, panels, refereed paper presentations, and mini-tutorials.

Michael has worked in technical operations for more than 10 years in the web, healthcare, online media and financial industries. He started out in the help desk area, but moved to operations shortly after starting, and has been building and running data center and operations teams ever since. In previous jobs he worked for NBC Universal, iVillage and McDonalds online game, Monopoly. Currently, Michael is the VP, Technical Operations for Etsy.
